under the peony

Su Yun lay on the rocking chair in the middle of the yard and basked in the sun.

The round fan covered her eyes, she raised her head to face the sun, the eyes were glowing red, she felt warm all over her body, and even felt that every blood vessel in her body was gradually coming alive.

This is the feeling of being alive, alive, with flesh and blood.

Then, she thought about her life after that.

She never expected that the food in this world would be so unpalatable. After eating this meal, she didn't want to eat another one.

What to do after that?

And life in this era is really boring, it hurts to be so idle!

At this time, she heard footsteps coming from behind, thinking that Su Shuang was coming, she continued to lie on the rocking chair and swayed.

But it was a kind-looking nanny who came over and lifted the fan covering her eyes.

Nanny was smiling, but Su Yun felt that the smile was fake.

"Third Young Mistress, Da Furen calls you over."

Da Furen, Yang Shule's biological mother, Su Yun's mother-in-law.

Su Yun and Su Shuang followed Nanny in Yang's Mansion for a while, and finally went around to Da Furen's.

This Yang Mansion is really big, as big as a maze, like a cage.

The eldest lady is a very standard mistress in the feudal era.

Dignified, elegant, and imposing, she looks like a loving mother, but in fact she should be very difficult to mess with.

But Su Yun was quite happy to see the eldest lady.

The eldest lady is Yang Shule's mother and her mother-in-law, which means she is also her mother.

Su Yun is a person who lacks love, lacking in father's love and even more in mother's love. Therefore, when she saw the eldest lady, the first time she saw her, happiness was written on her face.

But such a smile made the eldest lady a little embarrassed.

She heard that Su Yun ate meat today, so she called her over to give a lecture, but now she smiles at herself like this, so sincerely, and she feels a little silly, making her unable to say anything ugly up.

It seems that what Yang Shule said is really true, Su Yun really smashed his head.

The eldest lady thought for a while, and then said: "Yun'er, I heard that you have been ill for a long time, and now you are finally cured."

Su Yun smiled foolishly at the eldest lady, "Thank you, mother, for your concern!"

"..." Da Furen was suddenly speechless.

I don't care about you, I just chat with you casually, otherwise I have nothing to say.

The eldest lady said again: "I heard that you have been contaminated with meat today."

Su Yun smiled again: "Yes! It's delicious! Thank you, mother!"

"..." The eldest lady was speechless again.

I really don't care about you. Moreover, I heard that you vomited after taking a bite. It doesn't look like you think it's delicious.

Talking to Su Yun like this is fruitless.

The eldest lady became serious again, with a straight face: "You have been ill for so long, and you have forgotten a lot of things, but do you still remember the rules of my Yang family?"

Oh, now Su Yun understands, she has been reported.

But above, the eldest lady was still training Su Yun here, but below, Su Yun directly lowered his head and wiped away his tears, and said softly, "Mother, the child has been ill for a long time, and his body is weak, and he wants to eat meat to nourish himself."

For a moment, the eldest lady was stunned, the nanny was stunned, and everyone in the room was stunned.

This is Su Yun?

Su Yun used to be domineering in the Yang Mansion, even if the princess is married to the Yang Manor, she is not as violent as her.

But now, she is really pitiful.

She had been lying on the sickbed for so long before, and her illness turned into a scary ghost, but now that she was crying like this, her little hand covered half of her grimace, she didn't look so scary, and it even made people feel distressed.

In addition, the tone of her sobbing is also pitiful and soft, which makes her even more lovable.

The lady couldn't continue the training, so she could only comfort her: "Replenishing the body needs to be recuperated slowly, and you have to take it slowly. After a while, ask someone to prescribe you more tonics."

"Yes, thank you mother, mother is so kind to the child!"

"?!"

well!What the hell is going on with this Su Yun!

But in the end, before letting Su Yun go, the eldest lady still said: "But the rules of my Yang family can't be messed up. If this blasphemes the gods, it will be punished by heaven."

"Yes, my child understands." Su Yun cried pitifully, but then thought of something, "Life is like being in the midst of thorns. If the heart moves, the person will move indiscriminately..."

The eldest lady couldn't understand what she was saying at all, and she was at a loss: "Huh? What are you talking about?"

Su Yun lowered his head: "It's nothing, it's because the child realizes his mistake and realizes it."

It's nothing, just said some Zen words and found out that you don't believe in Buddhism at all.

As for why you do not believe in Buddhism but insist that you believe in Buddhism, it is probably because you think this is the fashion of your country, which is very fashionable, and at the same time, it is also very fun.

All the female family members of the Yang Mansion will play with you, and consolidate their position as mistress in the game. This trick is really wonderful.

But as soon as Su Yun stepped out of Da Furen's door, his face changed.Look at her little face, there are no tears.

I cried?

I put it on.

Su Yun raised his head, gestured with his fingers to the height and angle of the sun in the sky, and calculated the time: "It is... it is... 03:30 p.m...."

Su Shuang interrupted Su Yun's pretentiousness, and said directly: "Miss Third, it's time to apply."

Alas, no matter what time it is: "Go! Go to the kitchen!"

Su Shuang was confused: "Third young lady, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

Su Yun smiled: "I'll just take a look."

Su Yun came to the kitchen of the Yang Mansion.

When the servants in the kitchen saw her appearing here, they were all taken aback.

I was really taken aback, after all, she still looks like a ghost now.

Head Chef: "Miss Third, you..."

Su Yun still smiled: "I'll just take a look."

Su Yun greeted everyone and came in directly, as if she was inspecting her own restaurant in her previous life, her whole demeanor changed.

The kitchen is huge, and there are a lot of ingredients, all of which are fresh. The landlord’s family is not afraid of waste. If they can’t finish eating, they will reward the servants. It’s okay to waste it.

The country of Daliang is extravagant, and if you can't finish one meal and continue to eat the next, it's shameful to say it.The bigger the official, the bigger the waste, the more money, the more waste.

Su Yun walked all the way, flipping through the ingredients that were placed all the way, feeling that this world is similar to her previous life, there are actually ingredients such as corn and tomatoes that are native to America.

At this time, several chefs are cooking.

Although there is still some time before the meal, they have to prepare early. After all, the landlords in Daliang are like making a work of art, but it takes a lot of effort.

But Su Yun watched them from the sidelines, watched the whole process, and even reached out to taste——

"Third Young Mistress! The meal is not ready yet, so you can't move!"

Su Yun ignored the chefs' complaints and continued to taste, but frowned again.

In Su Yun's cognition, there are so many cooking techniques for food in this world, such as frying, frying, simmering, deep-frying, cooking, frying, sticking, roasting, braising, stewing, steaming, simmering, boiling, stewing, simmering, marinating, etc. Stir, bake, marinate, freeze, shred, honey sauce, smoke, roll, slide, braise.

But here, there is almost only steaming and stewing, and only a little bit of light seasoning is added, which is equivalent to no addition.

But if you insist that cooking in this way is to bloom the original flavor of the food, it didn't bloom, but it was soiled and fishy, ​​and all kinds of harsh flavors were mixed, and it withered directly and buried in the soil.

Su Yun asked the chefs about everything, and also knew that because of many factors such as geography, culture and religion, not only Yang's mansion was like this, but the taste of the whole Daliang was very bland.

The taste is light, but life is extravagant, so the food eaten by the upper class of Daliang is so nondescript.

Su Yun continued to observe, inspecting the ingredients here.There are also a lot of semi-finished ingredients, such as ham and bacon, in stock.

But these, women can't eat.

Then, Su Yun looked around for a week, saw almost everything, didn't say anything, just did it - fuck it!

Su Yun, who said "I'll take a look" as soon as he entered the door, immediately occupied a corner of the stove, directed the servants in the kitchen, and started to work.

"You! Burn the fire!"

"You! Go and cut the meat for me!"

"You! Go away!"

After everything was ready, Su Yun rolled up his sleeves and went on stage in person.

The chefs in the kitchen also stopped their work at this time, waiting to see Su Yun's joke.

They didn't have a good impression of Su Yun.

When she first got married, she asked the chefs to stew the precious medicinal herbs she brought over to nourish Yang Shule's body, and her stinking appearance made everyone dislike her.

But today's Su Yun - seems to be a different person.

Su Yun asked the boy to set up a large pot, add water, put a chicken, a duck, a pork knuckle, a piece of ham, green onion and ginger into it, and make soup.

He also asked another servant to cut up some minced meat for her to use later.

But these are meaty, ingredients that she cannot eat.Sure enough, at the very beginning, she acted like a demon.

Chefs: "Third Young Mistress..."

Su Yun: "Don't worry, I won't eat."

Su Yun then asked the servant to handle the cabbage for her, and cut several cabbage hearts.

While hanging the soup, Su Yun wandered around the kitchen again.

A layman watching the excitement, an expert like Su Yun, quickly figured out everything in the kitchen.

Everyone no longer cared about her, and continued to be busy with the work in their hands, but they were so busy that a strange smell of meat gradually rose from the kitchen. At first they didn't care about this smell, but it became more and more intense , Even if you want to ignore it, you can't ignore it. It's so rare that people can't help stretching their necks, looking for the source of the smell.

Finally, everyone turned their attention to Su Yun's pot of soup.

At this time, Su Yun poured the chopped meat into the pot to absorb impurities and cleaned the soup.

Su Yunlan only swept the soup once, but the color of the soup has become clear and clear.

Everyone around looked at it and was shocked!

Under everyone's dumbfounded, Su Yun took a sip of the soup and drank it, and everyone was even more shocked: "Third Young Mistress, you can't eat meat!"

Su Yun said strictly: "I really don't have food - I just drink!"

Su Yun savored the taste on the tip of his tongue, feeling very pleasantly surprised.

It's already time for her to come out from Da Furen's place today, plus she was going around in the kitchen, so she didn't have much time, so this dish was made casually.

But in this world, the quality of the ingredients themselves is excellent, and the taste is quite delicious without any complicated processing.

Therefore, adding wrong cooking concepts and wrong cooking techniques to these ingredients is really wasteful.

Su Yun stopped, feeling a little tired.

Alas, she was tired after only cooking one dish, because her body is too weak now.

That being the case, then I have to make more delicious food for myself to replenish my body in the future.

Thinking of eating something delicious again, Su Yun's eyes lit up again.

In the end, Su Yun casually threw the boiled cabbage into the pot, stirred it, and filled several pots.

It's really a pot, and she's really rather careless.

Then, she said to everyone: "It just so happens that it's time for dinner, let's give a copy to every yard in the mansion."

Everyone: "But this..."

But this is broth after all.

Su Yun: "What kind of broth? Look at the color of the soup. It's so clear that it looks like boiling water. How can it be broth? Let me tell you, this dish is called boiled cabbage. The point is not the soup, but the cabbage inside. ah!"

"But—" Everyone was even more worried.

"Hahahaha, I'm just joking with you!" Su Yun laughed, and this time she laughed a little bit like her previous monster, but she suddenly changed the subject, "This dish, you guys Just serve it on the table, as for whether they eat it or not—whether they like it or not!"

After all, she asked someone to take her share of boiled cabbage with chicken and duck legs and leave.

Everyone sighed, alas, Su Yun, it's still the same Su Yun from before!

In the Yang Mansion that night, every house presented a dish of boiled cabbage.

The Yang family, who are accustomed to exaggerated dishes, were even a little confused when they saw it at first sight, thinking that the kitchen had brought the shabu-shabu water by mistake.

But its taste—

In the middle of the night, all the people in the Yang Mansion, including the master, the eldest wife, the second wife, the third wife, the eldest young master, the eldest young mistress, etc., all had their tongues, minds, and hearts cleansed of the "boiled cabbage" that night.

That smell makes people lose their minds, toss and turn, and can't sleep at night.

That's not boiling water, it's obviously rough waves!Tsunami!

want to eat!I still want to eat this dish!

I hate!Why don't I lick the basin clean at night!

I feel that the shabu-shabu water in this dish is delicious!

Su Yun lay on the bed, feeling quite comfortable, hehe.

Yang Shule didn't sleep with her, she was very happy.

Who did Yang Shule sleep with?

Could it be that bastard Luo Qingyan?

Thinking about it this way, Su Yun actually didn't sleep well that night.

Boiled cabbage, Sichuan cuisine, state banquet.

Living in this world is like living in a thorny forest. If the heart does not move, people will not move rashly, and if the heart does not move, people will not be hurt; if the heart moves, people will move rashly, which will hurt their bodies and pain their bones, so they will experience all kinds of pain in the world.

From the "Great Treasure Accumulation Sutra": Like a person in a thorn forest, if he does not move, he will not be stabbed.The delusional mind can't afford it, and it is always in the bliss of extinction.It took a while for the delusional mind to move, and it was stabbed by all beings.Therefore, the scriptures say: If you have the heart, you will suffer, but if you don’t have the heart, you will be happy.

The last time I saw this passage was actually in Suzy's "yesnomaybe", a song that also pays tribute to Wong Kar Wai.
