After the salted fish is married

13. Indescribable reward

Bai Tao once saw the cooks simmering wontons in chicken broth in the kitchen of the Yan Mansion. The wontons with thin skins and large fillings were soaked in the clear chicken broth. Can smell it from a distance of ten feet.

But he has never eaten the wontons made by the cooks in the mansion, and the wontons made by them can only be eaten by the old lady and the young master and young lady of the direct line.

He knew that it was troublesome to make wontons. When Yan Xining said that he had wontons for lunch today, he was so happy that he almost flew up.But after he saw Yan Xining mix the stuffing, roll out the noodles, slice and wrap the wontons with his own eyes, he didn't want to eat wontons anymore.

He didn't want his young master to suffer.

It's okay to adjust the stuffing, the young master made it fairly easily.However, kneading and rolling noodles is out-and-out physical and technical work. For such a large ball of dough, it needs to be kneaded three times and woken up twice. After waking up, the thick dough must be rolled into a thin dough.

When the young master was rolling out the noodles, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

When Yan Xining was cutting the dough into palm-sized trapezoidal wonton wrappers, he turned his head and saw Bai Tao's red-eyed pestle beside the chopping board.Yan Xining was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Bai Tao cried: "Master, I will never be greedy again!"

Yan Xining:? ? ?

Bai Tao started sniffling again: "I don't want to eat wontons anymore!"

Yan Xining: ...

He looked at the neatly stacked wonton wrappers in the wooden basin, and then at the fragrant shepherd's purse stuffing in the wooden basin.The most complicated process has been completed, Bai Tao said now that he doesn't want to eat wonton?

Yan Xining asked softly, "Why? Aren't the wontons delicious?"

Bai Tao groaned: "Young Master is working so hard! Woohoo, I'm sorry, Master, I didn't know that making wontons is so troublesome!"

There were ripples in Yan Xining's heart, and he raised his hand to stroke Bai Tao's hair: "What kind of trouble is this? How can the food you eat be troublesome? Well, don't cry."

Bai Tao whimpered: "I'm sorry, young master, I'm a waste, I can't help but only eat."

Yan Xining tried hard to hold back a smile, he pinched Bai Tao's cheeks with baby fat: "Just know how to eat."

It seems that he needs to find something to distract Bai Tao's attention, otherwise he will make his brain ache from the noise.Yan Xining looked around, and finally found a way to calm Bai Tao down.

At this point, the chicken soup is almost done, just add the final seasoning and it will be ready to serve.High-end ingredients often only need the simplest seasoning, Yan Xining added two spoons of salt to the pot.Once the white fine salt is put into the pot, the aroma of the chicken soup is even stronger!

Yan Xining filled a large bowl with soup and meat. The clear chicken soup was covered with a layer of golden fat. The alluring aroma made him take a deep breath.

He put the chicken soup by the stove and greeted Bai Tao: "Drink some chicken soup first."

With tears in his eyes, Bai Tao moved to the stove: "Mmm..."

Seeing Bai Tao reach out to take the bowl, Yan Xining quickly stopped him: "Be careful! It's just out of the pot!"

Regardless of the lack of heat on the surface of the chicken soup, this kind of soup is the easiest to burn people.The chicken soup covered in fat is boiling hot, and if you drink it carelessly, your mouth and esophagus will be scalded!

Bai Tao rubbed his hands together: "I see."

After getting rid of Baitao, he can finally wrap wontons with peace of mind.Just as he sat down to wrap the wontons, he felt someone watching him.

Looking along the door of the kitchen, I saw two elder guards who were tidying up the garden on the side of Pinmei Garden, looking in the direction of the kitchen frequently.

Yan Xining covered her face, he really didn't think about it.They ate soup and chicken in the kitchen, and the guards had to work because of the smell... Isn't this abusive? !

Thinking of this, he quickly stood up and put two bowls of chicken soup on the stove.Then he walked to the door of the kitchen and raised his voice in the direction of Pinmeiyuan: "Brother guard! Come and drink chicken soup!"

When Yan Xining yelled, the guards turned their heads away in embarrassment, as if it was a shameful thing to be caught by the princess.Yan Xining added with a smile: "If you don't come over, I'll go over with the chicken soup!"

After the words fell, Yan Xining saw the two guards look at each other.After a while, they put down the farm tools in their hands and walked towards Wenzhang Garden with big strides.

Only then did Yan Xining feel relieved: Is this right? Drinking a bowl of soup is not a big deal.

As soon as the guards entered the kitchen, they saluted Yan Xining: "Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

Yan Xining: ...

Can you still drink soup happily?

At this time, Bai Tao finally took the first sip of chicken soup into his mouth, and he sucked the soup exaggeratedly: "It's so fresh! Come and drink the soup!"

Yan Xining smiled and pointed in the direction of the stove: "Do your own thing, I'll wrap a wonton first. Bai Tao, greet them."

After saying this, Yan Xining turned around and sat beside the chopping board. Afraid of embarrassing the guards, he purposely turned his back to the direction of the stove.After a while, he heard the sound of drinking soup from behind him, and Baitao showing off: "How is the chicken soup cooked by my young master? Don't worry, sit down and drink slowly. I'll bring you a stool." Come."

The corners of Yan Xining's lips were raised, and he pinched a piece of wonton wrapper, and then put the wonton wrapper in the palm of his left hand, with the narrower end facing the direction of the fingertips.Then he put a ball of stuffing on the top third of the wonton skin, and then lifted the skin above the stuffing and rolled it down.

Wonton wrapper wrapped with stuffing is rolled in the palm of the hand to form a cylinder.At this time, he pinched the wonton wrappers on both sides of the cylinder with both hands, and saw that he gently squeezed the thumbs and index fingers of both hands, and then squeezed the wrappers on both sides upwards, forming a round, fat, ingot-shaped wonton. It appeared in his palm.

He casually placed the wonton on the side of the chopping board, and continued to pinch the next wonton wrapper.

Before Bai Tao took a sip of the soup, he saw a few plump wontons appearing on the chopping board.At the moment he stopped drinking the soup, he put down the spoon and ran quickly to Yan Xining's side, squatting down and his eyes were at the same level as the wontons: "Wow, it's exactly the same!"

Then he reached out to touch the frontmost wonton, but before his finger touched the wonton, he took it back: "No, no, no, I can't dirty the delicious one."

Ever since he arrived at Wenzhang Garden, Brother Ning has been very clean.The food in the mouth must be washed more than three times, and the clothes next to the body must be changed every day... Now Bai Tao has learned to wash his hands before meals and after.

After Bai Tao washed his hands, he carefully picked up a wonton.

The petal-like wonton wrapper gently wraps the filling inside, and the dark green shredded shepherd's purse can be vaguely seen through the wrapper.Where is this food, this is clearly a handicraft with exquisite workmanship!

Bai Tao had never seen such a beautifully made wonton: "It's so beautiful!"

Yan Xining smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, what matters is the taste."

Yan Xining's movements were flowing like clouds and flowing water, Bai Tao couldn't see clearly with his eyes wide open.Soon rows of white and fat wontons appeared on the chopping board, and the stuffing in the pot was also decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the wonton wrapper bottomed out, there was still a small bowl of stuffing left.Yan Xining put the remaining stuffing in a small bowl, he can use these stuffing to make some dumplings in the afternoon.

Bai Tao looked at the neat wontons on the chopping board and was so moved that he wanted to cry again, he liked the present day so much!

When he came to the palace with the young master, an aunt in Yan's residence told him that the palace is not a good place, and he would not know how he would die if he went with the young master.

He was stupid and couldn't figure out the complicated twists and turns.He only knows that the young master treats him well, and he can't let the young master be alone.Looking at it now, it was fortunate that he left with the young master at that time, otherwise how could he have lived a fairy life!

Seeing Bai Tao's expression, Yan Xining teased and said, "Do you still want to eat wontons?"

Bai Taotou pointed out the afterimage: "I want it!"

Yan Xining divided the ravioli into two portions, and gave the larger portion to the guards.Fearing that the guards would not be very good at cooking raw wontons, Yan Xining cooked them for them.

Yan Xining handed the food box to the elder guard, and he took care of him: "There is chicken soup below, and then soak the wontons in the soup when eating."

In fact, cooking wontons directly in chicken broth tastes better, but with so many wontons in the chicken soup pot, the chicken soup will become cloudy.And if it is soaked in chicken soup now, when the guards start eating, the skin will be soaked and the taste will not be good.

The big brothers of the guards burst into laughter, and they were grateful: "Thank you, Princess!"

After the guards left, Yan Xining could calm down and taste the fruits of the morning's labor.

There are two large bowls on the desk, which are full of wontons, and the wontons are soaked in the chicken soup with oily flakes.Through the slightly yellowish skin, you can vaguely see the stuffing inside.

Pick up a wonton, and the wonton skin is like a layer of light gauze that gently wraps the stuffing inside.After taking a bite, the tough skin burst, and the delicious gravy burst out with the aroma of shepherd's purse.

At this time, the benefits of making stuffing with raw meat come out. Under the blending of raw meat, the stuffing is united together.The taste is tight and fresh, making people want to stop.

Eating wonton alone is already so delicious, let alone with chicken soup as a foil.Delicious chicken soup is the perfect protagonist on the table, but in this bowl of wontons, it has become a supporting role without complaint.

After eating a wonton and taking a sip of chicken soup, Yan Xining felt the unspeakable ironing in her stomach, and even the soreness caused by rolling the dough disappeared.

Bai Tao ate so much that he couldn't bear to lift his head, he was full of praise: "It's so delicious!"

Yan Xining smiled and said, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

It's a pity that Chu Liao doesn't have a refrigerator. If there is a refrigerator, he will make more wontons and freeze them in the refrigerator. When he wants to eat, he can just cook a bowl.

Just as the master and servant were immersed in eating wontons, there were footsteps in the courtyard, and the voice of the butler Leng came: "Princess, the palace has sent you a reward, please come out and pick it up?"

Yan Xining put down his chopsticks in surprise, swallowed the wonton in his mouth and walked out of the kitchen.He kept muttering in his heart, are there people in the palace who are stupid and have a lot of money?Last time I just rewarded him with so many fancy and useless treasures, why did he send things again in a few days?

Steward Leng stood in the courtyard with his hands down, and behind him stood a tall and burly guard.When seeing Yan Xining, the guard's eyes lit up and he showed a naive smile, Yan Xining didn't understand, so he smiled back.

Butler Leng said politely, "Where is the princess having lunch?"

Yan Xining pretended to be polite: "Yes, did Steward Leng eat? How about some together?"

Butler Leng smiled and said, "No, no, the villain came here on the orders of the master, and he dare not delay." As he spoke, the guard behind him stepped forward like a loud bell: "Princess!"

Yan Xining was taken aback. He had never seen this brother guard before, so how could he be so enthusiastic about him?

Just as he was about to open the box, Steward Leng quickly persuaded him: "Princess, there are internal and external applications in this box, why don't you go back and see for yourself?"

Yan Xining became even more curious: "Huh?" What exactly is it?Why are you using it internally and externally?

Butler Leng considered it carefully: "The best ointment from the Imperial Hospital is here, and the palace is full of heart, Wangfei, you can take it."

Yan Xining also didn't want to argue with Butler Leng here, his wontons were still soaked in chicken soup, he had to go back to eat wontons quickly.So he took the box casually: "Thank you."

Butler Leng smiled more sincerely: "It's the villain's job to share the master's worries, so the villain will not disturb the princess's meal."

After saying this, the butler Leng wiped the soles of his shoes and slipped away quickly.Yan Xining scratched her cheek in wonder, why is Steward Leng so mysterious today?

At this time, Bai Tao leaned over to Yan Xining's side: "Master, what's in here?"

Yan Xining opened the box casually: "Just take a look and you'll know."

I saw a layer of indescribable tools in the box, and those things were neatly arranged from large to small and from thick to thin.There are two palm-sized jade pots on the top of the tool. On the left side of the jade pot is affixed with 'external application' and on the right side is affixed with 'internal use'.

Yan Xining seemed to have overturned the palette, and now he just wanted a pair of eyes that hadn't seen these things.

He gritted his teeth: "Ji Song!"

----

In Tingsong Tower, Ji Song held an exquisite small bowl in his left hand, half a bowl of warm chicken soup surrounded a fat wonton.He took a sip of the soup and his brows stretched slightly: "Have you sent it over?"

The butler Leng wiped the sweat off his brow: "Yes."

Ji Song scooped up the wonton and put it into his mouth. After chewing carefully, he asked, "What's his reaction?"

The housekeeper Leng struggled and said: "The princess excitedly called the master's name."

Ji Song finished the remaining wontons in one gulp: "Excited?"

Leng Guanjia said: "The villain can hear clearly even when he walks into the Fuliu courtyard."

Ji Song: ...

The author has something to say:

Yan Xining: Why would you reward this kind of thing! 【Doubt life】

Ji Song: Taiyuan Hospital carefully developed, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs carefully selected, so it should not be wasted. 【Serious】
