Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

Jiang Shuyao walked over to put down the cake, and said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, second-in-law."

Zhou did not wait for her to ask why she chose to come to listen to the bamboo courtyard to join them, and said first: "I just think I am idle anyway. Since you sincerely invited me, I will come over." She said so, but she regretted it in her heart. Shouldn't refuse awkwardly and quickly.

She clearly said this to Jiang Shuyao, but her eyes fell on Xu's face, and the four words "sincere invitation" bite extremely hard.

Xu clan smiled softly when he heard the words, and took her words and said to Jiang Shuyao: "I rushed to finish the affairs and rushed over here deliberately. After all, you said you want more people to be more lively."

Her attitude was extremely gentle and considerate, and Jiang Shuyao moved her eyes.

hiss--

Zhou came to take a breath and made a mistake. She was blackened by Xu's gentle appearance, and she really wanted to smoke a few big mouths of herself just now. Why did she have to be stiff.

Jiang Shuyao didn't care about her awkwardness, and greeted the twins one by one, pushing the cake in front of them.

"This is the birthday cake. Let's cut it together." Jiang Shuyao didn't insert the candle because he was afraid that it would be unlucky for them to blow the candle. "Before cutting, remember to close your eyes and make a wish."

It sounds weird. While Xu and Zhou were still thinking about the custom, Xie Zhao had already rushed to Jiang Shuyao excitedly: "Can my wish come true?"

Jiang Shuyao gave a "Uh" and said, "Sincere is good, but today is your birthday, God may take care of you."

Xie Zhao nodded hurriedly: "Good, good." Turning to Xie Yao, "Fourth brother, let's make a wish together."

Xie Yao nodded, closing his eyes and meditating on his wish.

Xie Zhao put his hands together and looked up at the sky, muttering a long string of words with his eyes closed.

"Okay, I'm done, I hope to spend my birthday with my third aunt every year in the future." He opened his eyes and repeated Jiang Shuyao's cuff loudly.

Jiang Shuyao was stunned. One was that his wish could not be said so, and the other was that his wish was beyond her expectations.

Xie Yao whispered at this time: "There is also mother, second uncle."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Jiang Shuyao with bright eyes, waiting expectantly for her to answer.

The three adults present were all adorable.

Jiang Shuyao's heart was sour and soft, he couldn't laugh or cry authentically: "Okay. But when you grow up, you won't want to live with us."

Xie Zhao got the promise, sat bounced back on his seat, and retorted with joy, "No way."

Jiang Shuyao was amused by his childish remarks and asked them to cut the cake quickly.

Although there were only five people present, there was a very lively and warm feeling. Zhou hadn't experienced this feeling for too long, and he twisted uncomfortably in his seat.

She looked up at the Xu family, and found that Xu family had taken off the unchanging gentle and dignified mask on his face, showing grateful eyes and a natural smile.

Zhou had been with her for several years, and it was the first time that she saw such a true feeling of her, and suddenly felt a little bit emotional.

She looked at Jiang Shuyao, who happened to divide a piece of cake into her plate.

"Second sister-in-law, try it. This is your first time." She smiled.

Her smile was as warm as the warm winter sun, Zhou's eyes were sour in no sense, and she blinked away the faint dampness.

"Sister-in-law." Jiang Shuyao continued to divide the cake for Xu's family.

"Thank you." Xu said, for the first time what he said in his heart, "I have eaten the cake you made last time, and I am still thinking about it." After saying it, she was very happy. That's right, she is the dessert made by Jiang Shuyao. .

Zhou, who was deeply moved by the kindness, moved his ears and pretended to inadvertently: "You guys were so familiar with them before they were given food."

"I'm not quite familiar, I'm just cheeky and smeared." She glanced at Jiang Shuyao, and gently added, "My younger siblings are kind and easy to get along with."

Zhou's and Xu's eyes met in the air, and their eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yeah, why would you be willing to cook for me and eat lunch with me? I always feel guilty and uneasy in my heart, and I don't deserve her care."

Xu raised half of his eyebrows and similarly squinted his eyes slightly, as if only deepening the smile on his face.

Jiang Shuyao, who had divided everyone's cakes, looked up and found that the atmosphere was weird.

She looked at the two people who were looking at each other. When their eyes were in contact, there was a faint electric spark splashing around.

"Cough." She hurriedly lowered her head and ate the cake obediently like the twins.

I don’t have a lot of food while sitting, and I’m half full after using up the cake.

Xie Zhao wanted to eat again, but Jiang Shuyao stopped him: "There is still something delicious, keep your stomach."

Xie Zhao immediately became energetic: "What is delicious! Have you eaten it before?"

"Of course not." Jiang Shu stood up, "I'll go and see if it's done."

As soon as she left, Xie Zhao hurried to catch up. Xie Yao slowed down for a while and followed, leaving Xu and Zhou with big eyes.

Zhou couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up on crutches and followed limpingly.

Seeing this, Xu also ran after him.

As a result, four people stood in a row and watched Jiang Shuyao directing the cook’s roast duck.

Remove the door of the vaulted furnace cellar and put fruit wood under it, which can be used as a stove for roast duck.

The hanging oven roast duck is roasted by an open flame. The fruit wood is smoke-free and the bottom fire is strong. Hang the duck on the iron hook. Rotate the duck at any time to ensure even heating. This tests patience and skill. So Jiang Shuyao specially let the strong cook Mother to help.

The fruit wood burned brightly, the inside of the furnace was orange-red, and the duck skin was shiny and shiny. The duck is fat and tender, with thick subcutaneous fat. After being roasted by an open flame, the fat melts, and the oil and water fall "tickly", the oily aroma is overflowing, and the air is filled with a strong smell of barbecue.

"It's almost done." Jiang Shuyao said.

The cook nodded, pulled a pole, took the duck out of the stove, and picked it on the large wooden board next to it.

The duck is freshly baked, the color is purplish red, the skin is like a layer of honey, and it is shiny.

Jiang Shuyao asked the maid to bring the side dishes. With the help of the cook, he took out the three-pronged fork, pressed the duck and started roasting the duck with the blade.

Her skill was neat, and the red and greasy roast duck turned into clove leaves, neatly stacked on the white porcelain plate. The duck meat is tender, the orange-red duck skin is extremely thin, and it is tightly attached to the white meat. The red lines are drawn from the plate after the plate, and the index finger is moved when you look at it.

After Jiang Shuyao sliced ​​the roast duck, everyone returned to the table. The maids successively put on side dishes: thin and soft lotus leaf cakes, cut into thin green onion, thick sweet noodle sauce in a small porcelain bowl, cucumber strips, Carrot sticks and so on.

After the plate was set, the maid came to serve the master and cleans his hands again. Zhou's Xu's was puzzled. Jiang Shuyao explained: "This dish must be eaten with your hands."

After everyone cleaned their hands, Xie Zhao couldn't wait a long time, and drooled at the roast duck: "Can you eat it?"

"of course."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and took a piece of roast duck into his mouth.

The skin of roast duck is fragrant and crispy, but the meat is tender and moist. The fat under the skin of the duck is thick, and the fat attached to the skin of the duck is roasted tender and full. The teeth melt in the mouth when the teeth touch, and the duck fat splashes all over. The pork has a rich and long mellow aroma.

The small piece is fat, thin, and skinny. Put it in your mouth without chewing or extra dipping materials. Slowly taste and grind it to let the delicious duck taste spread in your mouth, making it mellow and moist. The scent of oil permeates every inch of the lips and teeth, and the plump and fat scent carries a light fruity fragrance.

Jiang Shuyao smiled and said, "It will be greasy to eat like this. You have to wrap it in lotus leaf cakes."

She picked up a piece of lotus leaf cake, the cake was baked soft and thin, with a light noodle aroma, smeared with sweet flour sauce, added three or four slices of duck meat, put in the light white, and then rolled the lotus leaf cake, with a thin crust. Can't wrap up the bulging duck at all.

Xie Zhao took it. The cake she rolled was slightly larger, and he had to open his mouth wide to stuff it all in.

Open your mouth, press the tail of the lotus leaf roll, slowly push it into your mouth, and then chew.

The sweet noodle sauce enhances the flavor and makes the roast duck more salty and sweet. After biting into the soft crust, the crispy outer skin and moist and tender roast duck inside and the sweet and crisp white onion segments constitute a rich taste. The mellow and plump oily aroma is mixed With fresh and sweet green onions.

"It's delicious." He covered his mouth and praised vaguely.

Xu didn't like cooking oil and meat, and thought it was Xie Zhao's gluttonous exaggeration. It was not until she tried to roll a portion and put it in her mouth, that she realized that meat sesame oil can be so delicious.

The duck skin is crispy and tender, fat but not greasy. The noodles, sauce, and onion are all used to set off the crispy and mellow roast duck.

Open oven roast duck has to fill the duck cavity with water. When the fire is roasted, the steam will prop up the duck cavity, so that the duck will not lose water and turn into wood, and the roasted meat will be tender and full, and the meat will be full.

She rolls little duck meat and is still amazed by the deliciousness of the duck meat, not to mention the others who have rolled several pieces of duck meat and stuffed them in her mouth.

Zhou's family is no better than Xu's. After taking a bite of roast duck, she completely put aside the correct eating habits. Anyway, she got used to it, and she still cares about so much.

She and Xie Zhao gobbled up together, wishing to stuff six or seven slices of roast duck into the big pancake.

Filling the duck cavity with water can not only lock the tender juice of the duck meat, but also use steam to open the duck skin and make the duck skin very thin. When the duck is roasted on an open flame, the duck oil will overflow, and the duck skin will be crispy and fragrant. The essence of roast duck.

Xie Yao loves duck skin very much, and specializes in roast duck slices with little duck meat. The duck skin is crispy, and the oil is completely soaked into the thin duck skin. It is obviously crispy and thin but with soft tenacity. Every bite can get from the thin skin. Bite out the oil.

The two little guys and Zhou's mouth were greasy, and even the restrained Xu's couldn't hold back, and they were a little supportive.

After eating, the few people didn't want to move, so they simply rested for a while in the Jiang Shuyaoyuan and sat next to each other to watch the sunset.

The setting sun is sinking, the sky is full of magnificent and gorgeous, orange, red, purple and red are immersed in each other, sprinkling a warm soft glow, everything is covered with a soft halo.

Xu's sitting on Jiang Shuyao's right side, the two children quietly leaned on them to admire the sunset. She was infected by the leisurely peace, and turned her head to Jiang Shuyao gently and said: "Sister, thank you."

Jiang Shuyao retracted his gaze to appreciate the scenery and turned to look at her puzzled.

"Azhao and Ayao are very happy today. I have never done so **** their birthdays before." She rubbed the child's head, hesitated, and said what was in her heart, "I am equally happy, thank you."

Looking at Xu's grateful expression, Jiang Shuya felt soft and moved: "Sister-in-law..."

Before I had time to say anything, Zhou suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Me too. It is the first time since I got married to Xie Guogong that I have realized that dinner can be so warm. I really want the sunset to clear a little bit slower."

Jiang Shuyao felt sour, and put his hand on the back of Zhou's hand.

Zhou Shi smiled at her, with a soft expression, no longer covering her lonely self, and solemnly said, "Thank you."

Jiang Shuyao quickly said no, and looked at her pityingly.

The truncated Xu clan looked stiff behind her, his eyes fell on Zhou's face like a torch, as if saying, "You pretend, continue to pretend."

The corner of Zhou's mouth, who had grabbed Jiang Shuyao's attention, raised a triumphant smile, and his eyes crossed Jiang Shuyao and fell on Xu's face: I just pretended, how can you do me?

The eyes of the two clashed in the air, and Jiang Shuyao, who was completely blinded, felt inexplicably cold behind him.

The smell of roast duck lasted for a long time, Xie Xun stepped into the hospital expectantly after smelling it, and then he was taken aback.

The glow of the sun is beautiful, and the scenery in the courtyard is dyed with warm light. Jiang Shuyao sits in the middle, with a cute child lying on his knees. The beauty on one side is gorgeous and the beauty on the other side is gentle and generous.

He blinked, silently exited the courtyard gate, and looked up at the name of the courtyard.

It's right to listen to the bamboo courtyard.

What's the matter with this picture of "the beautiful wife and concubine by the side, and the young child around the knee"? ? ?

He stepped into the courtyard and broke the quietness of the undercurrent.

Xu's and Zhou's eyes were still fighting, and suddenly they felt an unexpected guest break in, and cast their eyes at the same time.

Xie Xun is dressed in bright official gowns, tall and straight, handsome and handsome, stepping on the rays of sunlight to approach Shina Lang, unique in the world.

They still have a smile on their faces, but their eyes are a bit sharper than before.

What are you doing back now? It's not the time!

Xie Xun didn't realize it, and replied with the same smile and respectfully said: "Sister-in-law, second-sister-in-law." There seemed to be nothing wrong, but Zhou's and Xu's felt his displeasure.

"Third brother." The two nodded without any sign of leaving.

The air fell silent.

Jiang Shuyao, who was still immersed in the peaceful atmosphere of the years, shuddered suddenly.

Here comes again, that kind of weird Shura field is coming again, what is going on with this inexplicable feeling!
