While Yan Xingxuan was listening to the Queen Mother interrogating the palace people in the palace, Xiao Nianzhi had already started to mix the base ingredients and was ready to eat Chuan Chuan Xiang!
Near noon, I took off the teapot from the stove and replaced it with a mandarin duck pot.
This pot was ordered by Yan Xingxuan.
The batch of molds that were ordered at the Imperial College are still at the academy.
After all, it is considered public property, and Xiao Nianzhi is embarrassed to just take it for himself.
The things in the academy have all been sent back to Xiao Mansion by Shilan.
However, Aunt Yu had someone send a message before, saying that she would be waiting for her over there in the garden.
As a result, when she went there yesterday, Aunt Yu found it boring and went back to Zhuangzi.
Xiao Nianzhi thought that when she took a bath in a few days, she would have to visit Aunt Yu.
The master and apprentice have not seen each other for a while.
Xiao Nianzhi was already thinking about preparing some delicious food for Master.
After thinking about it, the base ingredients have been prepared.
Minced onion, ginger, and garlic are essential, and some chopped dogwood is added to enhance the flavor. Of course, sesame sauce is a must.
Since it didn’t come with spicy pot base, Xiao Nianzhi didn’t adjust the oil dish.
After the dipping ingredients were mixed, the water in the pot over there was also boiling. Xiao Nianzhi put the base bowl aside and started adding skewers into it.
Mushroom skewers, for example, are relatively resistant to cooking, and cooking them for a longer time will not affect the taste too much.
So, put it in first.
Soak the kelp, string it on the skewer, and put it inside.
Fresh tofu, tofu skin, bell rolls, and Aunt Qin’s exclusive handmade pork meatballs are all put inside.
……
Although it is a mandarin duck pot, because there is no spicy pot base prepared, both sides are now covered with chicken soup pot base.
After one side was full, Xiao Nianzhi began to put the marinated meat on the other side.
Fresh meat needs to be cooked carefully, especially lamb tripe. If it is overcooked, the texture will be dry and hard.
So, take the time to cook, then roll it into the dipping bowl, and then put it in your mouth...
Suck!
Just one word: fragrant!
It's a pity that now we can't kill cattle indiscriminately, and we can't eat spicy beef, heart tube, yellow throat and other skewers that are soft and delicious.
Some regrets, but not much.
Because the heat was rising in front of his eyes, the sheep tripe Xiao Nianzhi put in was ready to eat.
Take it out in time, then pick it up with chopsticks and take it away with the skewer. Put the cooked lamb tripe into the dipping bowl. After it is filled with sauce, eat it in your mouth.
Because it is cooked within a short period of time, the lamb tripe at this time has a tender and slightly crisp texture. The sauce is rich and the freshness of the lamb tripe is wrapped around it, creating an amazing flavor in the mouth. Xiao Nianzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Well, not bad!"
After eating two skewers of lamb tripe, Xiao Nianzhi focused on the marinated tenderloin.
It is also fresh and tender, and after marinating, it is fragrant and delicious.
Of course, you need to pay attention to the ratio of the marinade. If you adjust it well, the taste will be tender and delicious.
Aunt Qin has made great progress recently.
The cooked tenderloin is only slightly hard, but the overall taste is still very good.
After the tenderloin, there are chicken crispy bones and lamb chops...
There are mushroom skewers, kelp pieces and the like interspersed in the middle, which can just neutralize the taste and not appear too greasy.
I also have the oolong tea I brewed in the morning on hand. It’s just simple oolong tea without adding anything else. A sip can just remove the oil and relieve greasiness. It’s very comfortable.
At this time, all my colleagues have gone out for lunch. Most of them are on the street in front, and some are close to home. They can also walk home and have a bite.
Of course, there are not many colleagues like this, and most of them go to the street in front to eat.
Chang Shan's daily lunch was with them yesterday. Today, he was originally going to eat pancakes.
Xiao Nianzhi took a look, how could this work?
So, just ask the other person to come in and eat.
Anyway, their doors are open, they don’t avoid people, and they are not afraid of what others will say.
Chang Shan refused at first, but Xiao Nianzhi invited him again and again, mainly because...
The smell in the house is so delicious!
After being pushed and refused, Chang Shan came in.
However, he was too embarrassed to sit down and walked around with the bowl in hand to eat.
When it's done, come over and pick it up, put it into the dipping bowl, and then go to the door to eat. The purpose of avoiding suspicion is very obvious.
Of course, part of it is for safety reasons.
Although it is said to be at the Yamen of Shanglinyuan, who knows where the danger lies?
The view from the door is wider, making it easier for him to check the situation at any time.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Nianzhi didn't stop him anymore.
When Cong Xiangwu and Xu Nian came back from lunch, they smelled the fragrance next door before they even entered the room.
Ah this...
The fragrance was rich and spicy. After Xu Nian smelled it, everyone felt a little dazed. He asked the people around him uncertainly: "Have we had lunch?"
It's okay if he didn't ask, but Cong Xiangwu began to doubt life after asking.
Raising his hand to touch his round belly, Cong Xiangwu nodded: "I must have eaten."
Xu Nian:?
No, you should finish this, I'm even less sure.
Although the smell next door is particularly good, they still have to withstand such temptation.
After all, I have eaten it before, and I am too embarrassed to ask more questions.
Not to mention that Xiao Nianzhi is a girl, but the other party is their boss...
They were too embarrassed to ask!
In the end, I could only go back to the house in a daze and sort out the information for the morning.
The two of them went to Yuanchang in the morning, but they didn't stay long before they came back. They didn't stay long before they went to have lunch.
The recorded things have not been sorted out in time.
Xu Nian simply gathered it and handed it over to Cong Xiangwu.
After the other party has sorted it out, just hand it over to Xiao Nianzhi for review.
But, smelling the fragrance next door...
What should I do if I can’t do it?
Mr. Yu had lunch with Mr. Zhou today. They didn't have the luxury of going into a restaurant, so they ate hot soup wontons on the street.
After eating, I felt very satisfied.
However, after entering the Yamen, I could smell the faint aroma of food in the air.
The two people looked at each other and felt doubtful.
Huh?
Who cooks in the Yamen?
The confusion lasted only a moment, and the two people soon realized it.
Xiao Nianzhi!
The tea the other party brewed in the morning was very fragrant, and they even went over to ask for it.
Some were so shy that they just asked for hot water.
They both belong to the thick-skinned group, so they even ask for tea and water.
Is this after making tea and cooking rice?
I've heard that the other party's craftsmanship is good, but is this too fragrant?
It was okay when I was at the door. There was just a faint smell, but you couldn't smell it unless you smelled it carefully. Especially when the cold wind blew, the smell disappeared immediately.
The further you go in and the closer you get to Xiao Nianzhi's office, the more obvious the scent becomes.
Moreover, the two of them were sharp-eyed and saw that the guard protecting Xiao Nianzhi was standing at the door with a bowl in hand, lowering his head and eating something.
The two adults looked at each other again, and then swallowed calmly.
