Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

After Xie Xun had eaten enough, he went back to the room to read a book. The two of them weren't considered a couple or friends when they got along. They could barely count as a meal partner, but the kind that Jiang Shuyao warmly invited Xie Xun to eat.

Jiang Shuya was quite excited after calculating the days. Xie Xun had eaten her a few meals, and promised her a small request is not too much.

She was too full to eat this meal, and she was uncomfortable sitting, so she ran to the kitchen to prepare tomorrow's breakfast, and she was standing and digesting.

The Chinese breakfast culture is colorful and splendid, and the North and South habits are mostly different, but there are also delicious foods that unify the North and South tastes, such as steamed buns.

When it comes to the types of steamed buns, there is no end to the list. Looking in front of the steamed bun shop, the densely packed variety on the sign is enough to dazzle people. Mould dried vegetable meat buns, sauce meat buns, beef vermicelli buns, red bean paste buns, custard buns... But Jiang Shuyao's favorite is Xiao Long Bao.

The skin and stuffing are exquisite when making Xiaolongbao. Make noodles, wake up noodles, and knead noodles, every process must be paid attention to. The stuffing is the same. The meat stuffing should be pork leg with the right fat ratio, minced **** and green onion should be chopped finely, and the stuffing should be stirred in one direction, so that the meat stuffing will taste perfect.

The most particular one is the production of jelly. The pig skin is beaten and chopped, marinated in seasonings, and then boiled with the chicken broth slowly boiled over wood fire. After cooling, the skin becomes frozen. Dice and stir together the meat, the steamed buns will have the so-called "soup".

This is where the essence lies. When eating Xiaolongbao, use chopsticks to pierce the thin layer of skin, or take a bite directly to the mouth. The hot and delicious soup will overflow instantly, making the tip of the tongue slightly tingling. The eater had to blow again and again, and then carefully sucked away the soup.

After Jiang Shuyao made the fillings, it was late.

Turning off the fire, and walking out of the large kitchen, Xie Xun at the other end of the yard also opened the door.

When the two saw each other, they were a little surprised.

The courtyard is quiet, with moonflowers like yarn, sprinkled on the ground like dreams and illusions, giving the courtyard a tranquil and calm atmosphere.

Xie Xun took the lead to break the embarrassment, and said: "It's so late, still cooking?"

Jiang Shuyao nodded: "Prepare for breakfast tomorrow."

Xie Xun could not find a word, nodded, indicating that he heard it.

The two looked at each other in silence, Jiang Shuyao had nothing to say, and he was about to turn back to the east wing.

Xie Xun thought that it was late at night that she probably didn't see her nodding just now. Maybe she thought he didn't respond, which would be rude.

Seeing that she was about to leave, she was anxious and said: "It's hard work." She almost bit her tongue after she finished speaking.

Jiang Shuya turned to look at him, opened his eyes slightly, his expression was a little surprised.

Xie Xun's ears were red.

The two of them were far away, talking inexplicable conversations across the huge courtyard. This scene was really funny.

Jiang Shuyao was amused, tilted his head, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard. You are still reading so late."

Xie Xun heard the smile in her voice, and subconsciously squeezed the wooden door with the hand holding the door frame.

The moonlight was dim, and Xie Xun couldn't see her expression clearly, but he could imagine her clear and bright eyes slightly bent, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

"It's not hard, cough... It's not hard to read." He didn't know why he became so clumsy, and added embarrassingly, "I don't feel tired because of my interest."

Jiang Shuya agreed: "I also like to cook, so I don't find it hard."

Xie Xun became curious about her words for some reason. Obviously there is nothing to say, but he has a lot of questions to ask her, such as why she likes to cook, and does she often cook when she is in her boudoir.

Before he could ask, Jiang Shuya interrupted his thoughts.

"By the way, tomorrow I plan to steam Xiaolongbao, do you want to eat it?"

Xie Xun was taken aback for a moment, his ears became redder, and he nodded and replied, "Yes."

"I will go to the big kitchen to steam tomorrow, and let the maid bring it to you then."

"it is good."

There was nothing to say now, Jiang Shuyao turned and went back to the room.

Xie Xun was left alone standing in place, thinking about his inexplicable performance just now, and suddenly he raised his head and looked at the bright crescent moon resentfully.

Blame it, the moonlight misled me.

＊

Early the next morning, Jiang Shuyao invited the maids to the large kitchen with great momentum.

The steamed dumplings are already wrapped, so they just need to be steamed.

Jiang Shuyao didn't need to do it himself, he hurried to Shouning Hall after explaining.

After a while, the aroma of the steamed buns overflowed from the basket, and after the lid was lifted, the crystal-clear and small buns made people salivate.

Everyone was envious when thinking that the third lady had left a drawer for the four maids. It seems that there is nothing wrong with following the third wife, although she is not favored, but she is left in the nursery for a leisurely life, not much difference between the other two ladies.

When Jiang Shuyao came to Shouning Hall, Xu's family unexpectedly took the initiative to talk to her.

After Xie Pei's trouble yesterday, the Xu family inevitably cared and asked: "Can you make breakfast today?"

Jiang Shuyao should be.

Xu then asked: "Or the tofu brain of yesterday?"

"Of course not." Jiang Shuyao smiled slightly, "I still have to do things differently. After all, I'm here to please the old lady."

Xu's face stiffened slightly. I didn't ask for joy, but I was disappointed a lot.

She remembered yesterday's breakfast, and she never forgets the taste of curious sweet tofu brains. What she didn't eat was even more greedy.

The maid drew on the curtains, and the three of them entered the hall and saluted together.

Seeing Jiang Shuyao's figure, the old lady pressed her temple with a headache.

This daughter-in-law, she doesn't care if she treats her coldly; leave her alone and worry about herself. But I am not the cruel mother-in-law who can use the means to rub her against her, so she can't help it.

Forget it, the old lady thought to herself, speaking abruptly to avoid Jiang Shuyao's greetings in the future.

Although Jiang Shuyao was puzzled, he still agreed. Of course it is best not to wake up early, and to please the old lady is not worse than this morning meal.

When it was time for breakfast, Jiang Shuyao's maid followed again, and this time directly brought the steaming basket.

The old lady was a little disdainful when she saw this. Can the bun make flowers?

It turns out that it really works.

Lifting the lid of the bamboo basket, the white mist evaporated, and after the mist dissipated, everyone saw the neatly sized dumplings.

The buns are small, exquisite and translucent, with a crystal-clear skin, and are so thin that they can vaguely see the meat and the dangling soup inside.

"There is soup in this steamed bun. Mother is careful to scald it. You can poke the skin of the bun with chopsticks first, and wait for the soup to dissipate before eating." Jiang Shuyao stood beside the old lady and served her, "but it's better to put it. It tastes delicious when you bite the skin off your mouth. The soup is hot and fragrant. Take care to take a sip to prevent it from being burnt."

Her description was so tempting, even Xu, who had just eaten breakfast, was a little greedy.

The old lady still held her face, and gracefully picked up the dumplings in the bowl.

The skin of the xiaolongbao is extremely thin and soft when it is clamped, but it is tough enough not to break. The soup wrapped in it is clamped by the chopsticks, and the corner of the dumpling is swayed, as if it will burst in the next second.

The old lady remembered Jiang Shuyao's words and ate carefully. First bite off the thin and tough translucent bun skin, the hot soup flowed into the mouth, she was shrunk, subconsciously blowing indecently at the breach, the temperature of the soup in the lower mouth was just now All right.

The soup was extremely tender, and the old lady's appetite was lifted after the soup, and she couldn't wait to swallow the whole bun.

The buns are exquisitely squeezed, and one bite is just right.

The hot xiaolongbao skin is thinly packed and tender, and there is still some soup in it, so the fresh soup will overflow with one bite.

The tender and juicy meat filling and the slightly elastic and tender thin skin make every bite enjoyable.

The Xiaolongbao was too small, and the old lady only felt that she swallowed it without chewing it a few times. There was still a hot scent in her mouth, and the greedy worms were completely hooked up.

This Xiaolongbao is not only a delicious taste, but also a taste.

The old lady ate half a drawer of Xiao Long Bao in one breath before she suddenly recovered.

Eat too fast and eat too much.

She put down her chopsticks uncomfortably and drank porridge to hide her embarrassment.

But even though she hesitated, she still did not resist the temptation of delicious food, and ate a drawer of Xiaolongbao cleanly, and did not move her chopsticks to the pickles she ate daily.

After eating, I didn't have the face to continue to coldly treat Jiang Shuyao, and smiled at Jiang Shuyao: "I haven't had such a satisfying breakfast in a long time, thanks to your filial piety."

Jiang Shuyao slapped a snake and rolled, and said to please: "If the mother likes it, how about the daughter-in-law who often comes to make breakfast for her mother?"

How could the old lady agree? First, she didn't want to see Jiang Shuyao every day; second, the daughter-in-law occasionally cooked for her mother-in-law to do her filial piety, but doing it every day was the mother-in-law's vicious grind. The good little lady is not here to be a cook for you, Mrs. Xiangyang and Concubine Lin have no rules, so that to make a fuss, Xie Guogong's mansion has no such face.

The old lady hurriedly refused, saying mildly: "No, you have enough filial piety."

The Xu family couldn't help but look at Jiang Shuyao a few more times. This younger sibling can really catch the old lady's weakness, isn't she as innocent and stupid as she seems?

Shouningtang was full of joy, but Xie Xun didn't feel well.

Jiang Shuyao reminded the old lady to pay attention to the hot soup when eating Xiaolongbao, and also reminded his maids to be careful when eating, but he just forgot to remind Xie Xun.

He was hungry when he woke up early in the morning, and saw that this Xiaolongbao is small and crystal-like and looks very good. Naturally, Xie Xun didn't pay attention. He stuffed it in his mouth... and then suffered.

Although his tongue was burned red, he still wiped out the xiaolongbao firmly, which made the burns of his tongue more serious.

He was working in the East Palace and did not dare to touch tea all morning. When it came time to have lunch at night, I didn't want to endure the painful eating of the cold and indifferent food, which aroused Lin Cheng's incomparable sympathy.

Bo Yuan's appetite is getting worse day by day. How annoying this daughter of the Jiang family should be, it makes him feel so worried.

He thought this way, losing his appetite, and then put down his chopsticks.

Xie Xun was quite comforted when he saw this.

Lin Cheng couldn't eat the food here either. It seems that the food did not do well in the past few days, not because he was picky. ,,
