[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

Facing Wang Xifeng's question, Lizhi originally wanted to be modest, but Lin Daiyu had already answered for her first: "The craftsmanship of Lychee is really good, and it has improved in recent years. If Sister Feng is curious, tonight's dinner, I will Tell her to make something."

Wang Xifeng readily agreed, Lizhi stood aside and had no right to speak at all, so she nodded with a smile: "I just don't know what Second Grandma Lian likes to eat, and whether there are any taboos."

"It's a little troublesome to say," Wang Xifeng thought for a while, "Ping'er came with us, and when she comes in later, you can ask her, it just so happens that you two haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's good to catch up. "

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then a little joy appeared on his face: "This is really thanks to the blessing of Lian's second grandma."

"Lichi, bring some snacks first," Lin Daiyu said again, "I see, Miss Ying is probably hungry."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Sister Ying.Sister Ying, who was sitting on the side, smiled shyly, stretched out her hand and patted her belly: "Then I can thank Cousin and Sister Lizhi first."

Li Zhi was also amused by this villain, and he didn't even dare to take it seriously, so he went down to get some snacks without mentioning it.

Different from the woman's harmony and friendliness, in Lin Ruhai's study, Jia Lian seemed to be on pins and needles.

From time to time, he looked up at the door, wanting to see if Lin Ruhai was back.Even sitting there, he looked restless.Just as Lin Xiao went outside the study, she saw Jia Lian turning to the door.When the two brothers saw each other, they were all taken aback for a moment, and then Lin Xiao hurriedly saluted Jia Lian: "Long time no see, Second Brother Lian is fine."

"Brother Xiao has grown so big," Jia Lian looked at Lin Xiao in surprise, "Back when I came to Jia's mansion, I was still a small group, but now Brother Xiao...is already a dragon and a phoenix among people."

The husband and wife in this big house are in the same line of speaking nicely, and Lin Xiao's expression also seemed to relax a lot.He walked into the study and received Jia Lian instead of Lin Ruhai: "Thank you, Second Brother Lian, for coming this time, please trouble Second Brother Lian."

"That's out of line," Jia Lian waved his hands indifferently, "They're all my brothers, so why bother?"

The two brothers talked politely for a while, while Lin Xiao was more thoughtful, and opened up the topic of what Jia Lian had done in the past few years, and followed his words.For a while, they talked happily, but when Jia Lian came back to his senses, almost half of the time had passed.

Jia Lian couldn't help sighing secretly—after all, it was the Lin family's uncle who would teach the children. Lin Xiao looked like a young man now, already quite elegant, and he was impeccable in his speech. Such a person should be born to make a difference in the officialdom.

"Second brother Lian is tired?" Seeing Jia Lian lost in thought, Lin Xiao said, "I think father will be back at home in a while."

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "That's not true, it's just me..."

Jia Lian paused, and it seemed a bit inconvenient to say it.Lin Xiao immediately said very caringly: "If it's not convenient for Brother Lian to talk about it, it's fine if you don't talk about it."

Jia Lian smiled wryly: "Indeed, it's inconvenient to tell, and it's not easy for you to listen to a child. If my uncle knows that I tell you this kind of thing, I'm afraid he will drive me out of this house."

When Lin Xiao heard this, his heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something.It's just that he didn't show it. Instead, he changed the topic and talked about other things with Jia Lian.

At night, Lin Ruhai finally returned to the mansion.He has got the news that Jia Lian and Sister Feng are here.After hastily changing her clothes, Lin Ruhai went to see Jia Lian.

Seeing her father coming, Lin Xiao also winked, and found an excuse to leave the room.After he left the courtyard, he stood outside and thought for a while, then turned his head and said to the maid who was following him, "You guys go down first."

Over the years, the maids have already gotten used to Lin Xiao's weird habits, so naturally they didn't have any intention of refuting, so they bowed and retreated.

In this way, Lin Xiao walked slowly towards the small kitchen with his hands behind his back.

-

Li Zhi is busy in the kitchen now, she doesn't need to cook too much, just one dish is enough, after all, Lin's family has a special big kitchen, there is no reason for the girl's maid to prepare the whole table.

Just what to do for Wang Xifeng?

When Lizhi was thinking hard, a laughing voice came from the door of the small kitchen: "Lichi?"

Li Zhi looked at the door, only to see a girl in a blue shirt, standing there with her back to the light, smiling at her.That girl is beautiful and gentle, she looks amiable, so who else is it?

"Sister Ping'er?" Li Zhi was surprised and delighted, "Sister Ping'er, why did you come to this small kitchen?"

"It's not our grandma," Ping'er pretended to complain, "urging me to come and talk to you about the taboos. Why don't I just come? Otherwise, our grandma might want to find eight A woman brought me here."

Lizhi smiled, looked down at the chopping board, sighed and was happy in his heart, it seemed to be filled for a while.She pursed her lips, raised her head again, and grinned at Ping'er with a silly smile.

Looking at Lizhi's appearance, Ping'er couldn't help but blame: "You are already a big girl, why are you still so naive?"

As he said that, Ping'er skillfully took the small bench next to him and sat down beside Lizhi.She had had a lot of contact with Lizhi when she was in Jia's mansion, and it was not the first time she had done such a thing.

Li Zhi had a familiar old friend, and was very happy for a while, determined to show her skills.After asking about the tastes of Pinger Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, Lizhi decided to make a soup today.

It's really that the tastes of Jia's Mansion and Lin's Mansion are too different.Jia's family likes heavy food, but Lin's family focuses on health preservation, which is really not easy to reconcile.

Ping'er was next to her, seeing the expression on Lizhi's face, she knew what was going on in her heart, and she almost laughed out loud: "Well, I really grew up, I'm afraid I thought of something that no one would offend. ?”

Lizhi chuckled: "Sister Ping'er's words are different, this is the best of both worlds."

As he said that, Lizhi first took ribs and lean meat, weighed one catty each, chopped all the meat into small pieces, put them into the pot and started to cook the soup.This soup needs to be boiled for half an hour, and the heat should not be too high, otherwise the soup will not be clear.

After the soup was stewed, Lizhi took another piece of taro, washed and peeled the taro, and then cut the taro into thick slices with a knife.After cutting the taro, Lizhi put the processed taro into the steamer and started steaming the taro.

In the middle, the lychees skimmed off the froth several times in the boiling soup, and after waiting for a while, they took another handful of sweet potato leaves, blanched them in boiling water, and served them.Coincidentally, the soup that was boiling on the stove was almost done, so Lizhi put the sweet potato leaves into a bowl and poured some soup into it.

Immediately afterwards, Ping'er watched Lizhi take out a strange-looking utensil from under a stove.The utensil looks slightly tall, with a big cup on top, and the blade connected to the base extends into the cup, which looks extremely sharp.

"This... what is this?" Ping'er couldn't help asking when he watched Lizhi stuff all the ingredients he had just prepared into the big cup.

Li Zhi put it down while explaining: "This is a custom-made tool before, and it is the most convenient for crushing things."

Saying that, Lizhi put the steamed taro in it again, then grabbed the small handle next to the machine, and started to spin it desperately.The blades in the machine also began to rotate, gradually smashing the ingredients one by one.

Ping'er looked at Lizhi's laborious appearance, and then looked at the machine, a little thankful - it is convenient to shred things, but it is also quite labor-intensive.

The lychee spun for a long time, until the ingredients in the cup were mixed together and turned into a paste, then the cup was removed from the base and poured into the pot that had been prepared earlier.

Looking at the oily green color in the bowl, Ping'er showed some embarrassment: "...is this all right?"

"Where can it be?" Li Zhi laughed, "Sister Ping'er really knows how to joke."

Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief - no, I thought that was really the case.

Lychee continued to heat the green paste in the pot, and at the same time put some oil and seasoning into it.She kept stirring with a spoon until the soup was hot and the lychees began to thicken again.While pouring the sauce, stir the ingredients in the pot until the soup becomes slightly thick and sticky.

Lizhi poured the prepared soup into a bowl, grabbed two more eggs, skimmed off the yolks, and only asked for the egg whites.She deftly beat the bowl a few times with chopsticks, and after mixing it slightly, she began to pour the egg whites into the soup in the pot.

The speed of pouring the egg whites was not fast, and the lychee was still stirring while pouring, stirring up all the egg whites in the pot.Then thicken the cornstarch with the same cornstarch water, so that the white soup in the pot will be thicker.

After preparing this part of the soup, Lizhi took out a huge soup ladle.She carefully scooped all the white soup in the pot into the spoon, and in the next second, a scene that surprised Ping'er appeared.

I saw Lizhi flicking his wrist lightly, holding the soup spoon and deftly twisting it out in the air, spreading the big spoonful of soup directly on top of the original green soup.To Ping'er's surprise, Lizhi directly spread the white soup into the shape of a yin and yang fish, and when put together with the green soup, it just happened to be a Taiji diagram.

Lizhi naturally noticed Ping'er's expression, she was very proud, and finally tapped the soup a few times with her chopsticks, and clicked out the two small dots in the Taiji diagram, and it was considered a success.

"Sister Ping'er, look at my Tai Chi Soup," Li Zhi said, "This is my bottom dish!"

The author has something to say:

Originally this dish was called Taiji Huguo Geng, but we are speaking in ancient Chinese, so we can’t use this word [.

It's a bit of a calvin today, it's even later, sorry haha! ! !
