Chapter 175 Water Mat
Qiaozhen and Sun Juhua were stunned for a moment, is the old lady of Yufu going to have a big birthday?

"Is it the old lady's [-]th birthday? I need to make good preparations. I'm afraid many people will come back from the capital, and the imperial concubine will come back with congratulatory gifts, right?" Sun Juhua still knows the old lady of the Yu family.

Qiaozhen frowned slightly, she had heard about this old lady, Qin Shi, her husband was from Shangyu's family in the town, and he went all the way up the examination.

But she was just a small family jade jade, and her ancestors were officials, but they were down and out. She followed her husband all the way to the promotion, managed the house for him, and managed the back house very peacefully, while her husband was a second-rank official all the way. I have taken in two concubines, but they were given by others, so I can't shirk them. After I took them in, I served them with delicious food and drinks. I didn't favor them, and I didn't leave any heirs. Raised four sons and a daughter.

The eldest son is now the head of the Yu family in the capital, holding the lifeblood of the Yu family in the capital. The second son loved martial arts since he was a child, and later went to the battlefield, but unfortunately he never came back. The bad news came, and his wives were few Yue died of illness, leaving behind a three-year-old daughter. The old lady took her granddaughter to her side and raised her personally. The grandparents and grandchildren have a deep relationship, and this granddaughter is now the concubine Degui in the palace. She gave birth to a prince and a princess for the emperor. , is quite favored, no one can compare except the queen mother and empress.The queen mother also liked it very much, and the queen also made friends with her.

The third son is an official in the capital, and he lives in a first-class official. He is often summoned by the emperor. He is also upright, fairly clean, and has a good reputation as an official.

The fourth child is Yu Chengfeng's father. Originally he was also in the capital, but after some incidents happened, he returned to the town with Yu Chengfeng.

The only girl was married to the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's family. After entering the mansion, she took charge of the affairs of the family.

After her husband passed away, the old lady left the capital and moved back to live in the town. Her two sons picked her up several times, but she never returned to the capital. Live a few years of cleanliness.

Although she doesn't go out often and lives in the inner courtyard, it can be said that in the town and in Yu's house, what she says is the imperial decree. Living in seclusion, among the many grandchildren, she still prefers Yu Chengfeng.

"The congratulatory gift from the imperial concubine is on the way, and it will arrive in two days. The filial piety of the empress is touching, and the empress will never forget her grandmother no matter what." Yu Chengfeng said politely.

"Many people came from the capital, and it will be lively in a few days. I don't know if I'm used to staying in the town, but I don't like the excitement in my heart."

Yu Chengfeng's expression was a little downcast. Originally, this was an excellent opportunity. As long as he managed his grandmother's birthday banquet and won the favor of her old man, it would be very beneficial for him to arrange the people in the capital. Somewhat disgusted, he also really wanted to be good for his grandmother, he really cared for her, he didn't want to use this matter to make a fuss, but this world is like this, if he doesn't make a fuss, others will, and there are intrigues everywhere.

"What kind of flavor does the old lady like?" Qiaozhen asked.

Yu Chengfeng glanced at her, and replied: "Grandmother has no other hobbies in this life, but she likes to eat all kinds of food, but unfortunately your family's food can't be used as a banquet or on the table, otherwise you can try something new. "

He felt a little regretful in his words, the food of the Wang family was for ordinary people, it was okay, people like them would not use it.

"I know the ones that are delicious, good-looking and worthy of the stage." Qiaozhen whispered.

"Oh?" Yu Chengfeng's eyes sparkled, and he hurriedly asked, "Why don't I know, why don't you cook and eat?"

"Those things are too troublesome. I don't know what to expect. I'm too lazy to do it, and I can't do it normally. Why should I bother with that?" Qiaozhen replied to him.

"What will you do? Tell me and let me hear, see if I've heard of it?" Yu Chengfeng thought, maybe this woman can really help him.

"Water mat, have you heard of it?" Qiaozhen raised her eyebrows, she didn't believe he knew about things from the previous world.

"Water mat? Is it all made of water?" Yu Chengfeng had never heard of it before, and the name made him very puzzled.

"Pfft." Qiaozhen covered his mouth and laughed, his understanding ability is really strong.

Yu Chengfeng blushed, knowing that he was wrong.Sun Juhua also looked at her niece. She didn't believe that her niece could come up with any delicious food. A woman in Zhuangzi had limited knowledge, and the food she thought of would definitely not be able to be put on the table.

"The water mat is not made of water. It is called a water mat because most of the noodles are soup." Qiaozhen explained seriously.

Yu Chengfeng frowned a little, and asked: "Most soup, can it be on the table?" He was a little worried and felt that it would not

Qiaozhen smiled, and said seriously: "My lord, don't worry, it's definitely on the table. There are a total of 24 dishes in the water table. It consists of eight cold dishes, four four dishes, eight middle dishes, and four table dishes. You will never lose face .”

Qiaozhen paused for a while, then said: "But my son, you must find me a master with excellent knife skills. The eight cold dishes are also called eight flowers. They are four meat and four vegetables. They are made with flower and bird patterns, not only in colorful colors. , the idea is unique, and it wins with the color, fragrance and shape. It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also tastes better. It will win the favor of the young master when you open the table. But it can’t be done without a good knife master, so can this matter be possible? Yes, it depends on whether the young master has anyone."

Qiaozhen said that he has a full chest, Yuchengfeng nodded repeatedly, and made the dishes into patterns of flowers and birds, which is a special feature, and it feels good after thinking about it.

"Don't worry in front of people, I will definitely find you what you need, as long as you have the recipe, you will be able to do it." Yu Chengfeng still has confidence in this.

Qiaozhen nodded, as long as someone is there, she went on to say: "Young master will not be disappointed with the four dishes on the table, they are Tiaozi Pork, Peony Sea Cucumber, Small Crispy Pork and Yuanyuan Soup. They are beautiful and delicious.

For the remaining [-] dishes, each group of three dishes, one big dish takes the lead, followed by two middle dishes, which is called tape up court.

The names of the dishes are peony jelly dishes, peony boiled goods, peony meat slices, western spicy fish slices, stewed dumplings in milk soup, braised four pieces, chicken wings with ingredients, fried balls in sour soup, water boiled balls, fried rice with eight treasures, honey sauce Ginseng fruit, rice wine full of river red.

These dishes are not only delicious, but also have a good meaning. Many dishes have to be carved with large peony flowers, which is guaranteed to make people feel comfortable and happy to eat. "

Qiaozhen changed the names of many dishes. In that life, this noodle was called Luoyang Shuixi. For a while, she and that man were in Luoyang, and they ate it almost every day. She was very familiar with it, and even a modern person like her liked it very much. , not to mention ancient times, and the biggest feature of Luoyang water banquet is that it has both hot and cold, meat and vegetable, sweet and salty, hot and sour.No matter what kind of taste people have, they can find what they like to eat, so she doesn't worry about being left alone or complaining about it.

Yu Chengfeng looked at Qiaozhen's confident look, and his mood rose. He believed in this woman, if she said she could do it, she would definitely do it.

"Young Master Yu, in addition to a master with excellent knife skills, you also have to buy the vegetables and various seasonings I need, otherwise I will not be able to change even if I have great skills." Qiaozhen smiled.

"Okay, make a list. I'll order someone to buy it now, and make sure to prepare what you need. In addition, you must practice in advance. Should I take you into the town, or send people here?" Yu Chengfeng asked, It is impossible to make the dishes in one go, it will definitely take time, and this must be taught in person, and the occasion must be set.

Qiaozhen did the math, a banquet is definitely not one table with two tables, so there must be a lot of people to teach, my home kitchen fire room is too small to accommodate, besides, there are too many people, and the clanging is also noisy, and, There are too many people coming, and it is inevitable that there will be disputes.

"Master, come by car every day and take me to the town. I'll stay in your other courtyard. After dark, I'll be sent back. It's almost time to come here in a few days." Qiaozhen thought about it, and decided to go to town.

Sun Juhua didn't stop her. Although she didn't want Qiaozhen to get too close to Yu Chengfeng, she knew the power of the Yu family and the importance of the old lady of the Yu family. It is beneficial, so she must let Qiaozhen go.

"Don't worry, leave the whole family to me." Sun Juhua took the initiative to take care of everything in the family.

"Thank you, aunt." Qiaozhen smiled, sincerely grateful.

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow, and you should have a good rest today." Yu Chengfeng nodded, and then asked someone to write down the things listed by Qiaozhen, and he went back to prepare.

After he left, Qiaozhen asked Sun Juhua softly: "Auntie, you don't blame me, do you?"

Sun Juhua looked at Qiaozhen and smiled, and said: "No, Qiaozhen, life is difficult, and it is even more difficult to live well. My aunt used to be a servant, and I have to listen to the master in everything. I can't control my life and death. Master For you, it is good fortune, those who are not good, if they say they will be killed, they will be killed, who can reason.

If a farm family wants to live well, it not only depends on God, but God has good weather and good weather to collect more food, so that you can eat enough, and you must not offend others, otherwise a noble person will kill your family.

Human life is cheap, the Yu family is powerful, we can't offend him, Mr. Yu is a very reasonable person, if we change to those unreasonable young masters, then our family may not have a good life.

Mr. Yu is good, you helped him this time, he won the favor of the old lady, and gained face, if he gains power in the future, he will remember that you helped him, and he will take good care of the Wang family.

And if the son can form an alliance with the Yu family in the future, then there will be no worries. "Sun Juhua and Qiaozhen are speaking from the heart.

Qiaozhen nodded, Yu Chengfeng helped her a lot, if she could help him a little once, she would try her best.

　Thank you Zijia, Dahanjian, Mercury Masked Superman for sending you the safety talisman, thank you May112515, winking and empty, the old lady who bought vegetables in front of the door voted for the pink vote, thank you for your support.
