It was another day of weighing. This was the happiest moment for the three sisters. After Mrs. Yang got on the scale, she came down and said excitedly: "Today my weight has dropped to 100 kilograms. After three months of breastfeeding, I will definitely be able to weigh 100 pounds."
It's back to the seventy pounds it was back then. I'll treat the two sisters to dinner tonight."
As I write this, I would like to explain that the weighing system in the Song Dynasty was different from today's. One pound is equivalent to the current 640 grams, and seventy pounds is equivalent to the current ninety pounds. It is just that if you gain one pound, you will feel fat, and if you lose one pound, you will feel fat.
The ideal weight is too thin.
Mrs. Yu's second wife weighed in and found that she had lost eight kilograms in weight, while Mrs. Feng's second wife had gained one kilogram in weight. "Why do we eat the same food these days? Why have you lost a lot of weight, but mine has become heavier?"
Heavy?"
Mrs. Yu's second wife looked sad. They laughed and said: "Silly sister, you are just pregnant. If you are already light, how can the baby in your belly grow bigger? We gained more than 40 kilograms during pregnancy."
"
Over forty pounds? She couldn't imagine what kind of figure she would be in after gaining so much weight. She looked at the two sisters and felt a sense of fear in her heart.
The fish fillets were ready and had to be marinated for half an hour. Zhou Ling came up and asked Mrs. Yang and others if they had any taboos.
Mrs. Yang asked proudly: "Taboo? You have to ask Mrs. Feng. When you are pregnant, the taste will be sour today and sweet the next. It changes from time to time. Sister, what do you want to eat today? I will treat you."
"What happy event have you encountered? Tell us, otherwise we won't be happy eating." The two of them asked while talking to her. She giggled and said: "I can't tell you now. In the future, you can do it yourself."
Will know."
The happy event was real, but it was not the right time to tell her. The two sisters found some clues and let her go. Mrs. Feng was worried about her figure, so she pulled Miss Zhou Ling aside and said, "I have something to ask.
If I eat here every day, how much weight will I gain by the time I give birth to my son?"
For beautiful women, body shape is always the key point. Zhou Ling's mother was confused by the question and replied: "I really don't know this. How about I ask the master for you later?"
The master is a man, and this is a woman's business. How could he know? Mrs. Feng shook her head, with disappointment on her face. Mrs. Yang stopped her and said, "Miss Zhou, what's the dish for this evening? I just smelled the aroma from the kitchen. I
I feel hungry."
"This, it took my master a lot of thought." As soon as she talked about the dishes, Miss Zhou became excited and said: "There are three situations for the three of you. One is about to extract milk, one is about to induce lactation, and the other is pregnant.
Bao Fei, the master thought for a long time before he came up with a dish that three people can eat at the same time. I will keep it a secret, so you will know it when the dishes are served in the evening."
Miss Zhou is gone, and now they are the ones who have to worry about it. Mrs. Feng went to the kitchen just now, put her mouth next to their ears and said: "I saw what they were frying in the oil pan, piece by piece."
, before I could see it clearly, I was driven out by them, it looked like a fish."
"I don't want to eat fish, I'm most afraid of fishy smell." Mrs. Yu Er said very worriedly: "In the past, I would vomit when I smell fishy smell."
Mrs. Yang thought of the past events in Chunhuayuan, patted her head and said, "Why did I forget this? When I was in Chunhuayuan, my sister didn't eat fish because of the rules here. She didn't even ask what kind of food she wanted, so she just ordered them
According to our bodies, prepare a few things that can be eaten by all three of us. When Miss Zhou came up and asked about dietary restrictions, you didn’t say anything."
"Forget it, I'll just eat whatever I want or have a meal." Mrs. Yu lowered her head and said angrily, "Why didn't I make myself clear?"
Mrs. Yang comforted her: "This won't work. My sister asked them to serve another dish. However, it will be later and it is inevitable to be hungry for a while. No, this is just a chance to lose a few more pounds."
It was time to eat, and the first dish was fried fish fillets. Looking at the golden color, it was very tempting. Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Feng took a chopstick and opened their mouths. They felt that the taste was sour and sweet.
The acidity is not as strong as vinegar, and the sweetness is not like sugar. It is soft and comfortable.
"Sister, try it." Mrs. Yang said to Mrs. Yu, "This tastes great."
Mrs. Yu Er was afraid of the fishy smell and did not dare to use her chopsticks. With repeated encouragement from the two sisters, she stretched out her chopsticks and picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. This was another delicious taste that she had never tasted in her life, sweet and sour.
It feels like meeting Yu Yuanwai for the first time. After frying, the fishy smell has been greatly reduced and it is difficult to smell it. With this faint fishy smell, it makes the taste of this dish richer and more perfect. This is a bit like
It was the first time I had sex with Yu Yuanwai in Chunhuayuan. It was both unsettling and exciting. The sour and sweet taste was added with tomato pulp, which is a food ingredient in Fanbang and was not widely popular in the Song Dynasty. After tasting a piece
, Mrs. Yu could no longer put down her chopsticks. Among the three, she ate the most.
After a while, Miss Zhou personally held a huge bowl and shouted: "Sauerkraut and fish fillets are on the table."
"Moon over the Xijiang River, pickled fish"
The black fish is carefree in the water, but it gets caught in the fisherman's net? Pieces of it are found in the dishes, and the egg white and cooking wine are smeared.
Stir-fry pickled cabbage and pickled peppers, add sliced ginger and Sichuan peppercorns. Boil the fish fillets over high heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions to taste.
Making this fish fillet is not difficult, the key lies in the quality of the sauerkraut and the paste. Pickled cabbage should be used for the sauerkraut, and egg white should be used for the paste to prevent the soup from becoming cloudy. The ginger slices and Sichuan peppercorns cover up the fishy smell, and there is only a little bit of it when you eat it.
It's a bit fishy. It's a bit like eating distilled lotus. It smells sometimes when it's strong and fragrant when it's weak. This time, Mrs. Yu took the initiative to hold out her chopsticks. After taking two bites, she looked like she was enjoying it. Mrs. Yang stretched out her hand to scratch her face and said
: "Shy, shy, saying I won't eat fish because it smells fishy, but I actually ate more than either of us."
She stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the fish fillets and said, "I said you won't eat fish that smells fishy. I didn't say you wouldn't eat fish. This fish doesn't have a fishy smell."
What's the difference between not eating a fish with a fishy smell and not eating a fish with a fishy smell? Mrs. Yang was stunned and scratched her scalp. After a while, a large bowl of pickled fish fillets was eaten by the three of them, and it was still in the bowl.
She kept eating pickled vegetables. After a while, she remembered that the soup had been finished and the staple food had not been served. Mrs. Yu felt embarrassed and asked in a low voice: "Miss Zhou, look, there is no dish for the staple food."
Already."
"This staple food doesn't require vegetables. My master had already thought of this result." She made a face and ordered the staple food to be served.
The post-natal mothers placed a medium porcelain bowl in front of each person. In the bowl were cooked rice and fish bones. In the center of each bowl stood the fish bones, like a jade comb.
The bones are all used for food. Are you the shopkeeper too stingy? The three of them picked up the comb-shaped bones and sucked them while joking. How can I describe the strange umami taste? By the way, it seems like the first time.
The kiss was a moment of knowing the taste of love. A breath of freshness spread from the mouth to the base of the tongue. The three of them began to taste it carefully again.
