Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

There was only a small piece of beef on ice, and Lin insisted on asking Jiang Shuyao to continue making beef with sour soup.

Jiang Shuyao couldn't laugh or cry, so he persuaded the Lin family.

Yesterday she ordered her servants to go out and buy sauerkraut. They touched it all the way to the outside of the capital and finally bought an altar in the farmhouse.

The ancients would marinate the cabbage and seal it in an altar to extend the shelf life. Sauerkraut has already appeared at this time.

This kind of food is rich and noble, so people are very surprised when Jiang Shuyao confessed that he bought sauerkraut.

The sauerkraut has a strong flavor, and the kitchen is full of salty and sour flavors after opening the lid.

The pickling method at this time is slightly different from that of later generations, and the taste is slightly different, but not too much.

Jiang Shuya picked out the sauerkraut and cut it into sections, and wondered if the picture would be too contradictory if he listened to the bamboo courtyard instructing the maids to pickle the sauerkraut.

Even people who do not like sour food will eat some dishes with sauerkraut as a seasoning. For example, sauerkraut minced pork vermicelli buns, sauerkraut beef, sauerkraut white meat, etc., or when noodles are cooked to make rice noodles, it is also delicious to put some sauerkraut in the soup.

The acidity of sauerkraut is milder than that of vinegar. It is appetizing and refreshing, sobering to get greasy, and the flavor is never lost to fresh vegetables.

It tastes crisp and raw, salty, fresh and sour, and has a tangy fragrance.

What Jiang Shuyao is going to do today is pickled fish.

Sauerkraut fish is actually a home-cooked dish. It is not difficult to prepare. The slightly more difficult one might be sliced ​​fish. The cook lady wanted to come forward and was rejected by her gentle words, and cut the fish into slices by herself. The process of processing the ingredients was relieved and relieved.

Compared with spicy boiled fish, sauerkraut fish is more suitable for people who are not able to eat spicy food. It is refreshing and appetizing, and it tastes fresh and salty but not too irritating.

She was cooking under the kitchen, and Lin obediently sat at the table waiting for dinner. After being taken care of by Jiang Shuyao for these two days, she finally recovered some strength.

The mother was very pleased when she saw this. She praised Jiang Shuyao for her filial piety, and she sighed that she was so skilled in cooking in just a short time after she married.

The original owner used to run outside all night, except to cause trouble, and did not do business. After returning home, he always quarreled with Lin, so Lin didn't know this daughter well.

When she heard the words, she collapsed her shoulders and sighed: "I used to blame her for being unsatisfactory, and let her let her alone. Now that I see her, she knows that she is also talented, not in the eyes of others." Speaking of this, A proud smile appeared on his face, "My Lin family daughter is very good. I am proficient in business transactions and will plan to sell at the age of three. My daughter is also quite clever and very good at cooking."

Thinking like this, it was both joyful and sad. Mother wanted to persuade but didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, Jiang Shuyao appeared in time to relieve the siege. As soon as Lin saw her, the melancholy on his face disappeared.

Jiang Shuyao always had a bright smile on her face: "Mother! Are you hungry?"

Even if he is not hungry, looking at her smile, Lin will follow her and answer: "Hungry."

"Eat pickled cabbage fish today." She sat down next to Lin, "Look if it suits your appetite."

Lin picked up the spoon and took a bite of the soup. The sauerkraut fish soup has a smooth base, with a thin layer of fat floating on the surface. Because the sauerkraut is greasy, even the soup with slick oil tastes sour and refreshing. .

She nodded: "Hey, of course it suits the appetite."

Jiang Shuya received the praise and smiled more brilliantly: "Don't just drink the soup, try the fish fillets."

Lin picked up another slice of fish, which was unexpectedly delicious.

The thickness of the fish slices is appropriate, each slice is of equal thickness, fresh and delicious, smooth and elastic. The savory taste of the fish is fully stimulated by the slightly sour soup base, without a trace of fishy smell, only delicious and sour fragrance.

"It's rare for this fish fillet to be made so fresh." The fish that Lin had eaten in the past were more or less uninteresting. The ingredients are light, but the pure freshness tastes a little bland; the heavy ingredients will cover the fish. Of umami.

And this bowl of sauerkraut fish is just right, very suitable for her taste.

She didn't want to eat fish fillets with white rice for a while, and then scoop soup.

Use chopsticks to pick up the tender white fish fillets and stuff them one by one into your mouth, hoping that the tip of the tongue will retain the tender and delicious taste.

After the fish fillets were swallowed, I couldn't wait to drink a tablespoon of soup.

The soup base is sour and slightly spicy, from the tip of the tongue to the root of the tongue all the way sour and enjoyable. After the sourness is over, the umami flavor becomes stronger.

After drinking, the mouth will produce fluid, and the whole body will be warm.

Jiang Shuyao looked worried and asked, "My mother doesn't like rice. Why don't I cook noodles for you at night?"

Lin finally was amused by her: "How can you marry someone makes a big difference. How can your mother be so delicate, she shouldn't worry so much."

Jiang Shuyao sighed in his heart. How could it be that Lin had a bad appetite before, but he was still alive and well, but now he is pregnant but worried and unwilling to fight, making Jiang Shuya feel stuck.

When she returned to her family's home, Lin's appetite improved, but her appetite was a little worse.

When it was time to go back to Xie Guogong's mansion in the evening, Jiang Shuyao was reluctant to leave, and called Lin a good joke.

"How old is a child, I can't leave my mother." She poked Jiang Shuyao's head. Mother and daughter had never been so close for many years.

Jiang Shuyao wasn't acting like a baby, he was really worried about her, and blurted out, "Why don't I leave, I'll come back to accompany you."

Di Lin's expression suddenly changed with a gentle and gentle smile, frowned and scolded her, with a serious tone: "Nonsense! Since you are married, stay at your husband's house. I ask you, how can you find the first place in this capital city? Two husbands like Xie Xun?"

"But I don't need a husband, I have a good time by myself." Jiang Shuyao was taken aback by Lin's attitude and argued for reasons.

"I thought you were sensible when you grew up, but I didn't expect that you would still like to mess around like before." Lin pushed her away, looking like the mother and daughter quarreling once again.

Jiang Shu is puzzled, why Lin loves her daughter so much, why insist on letting her marry? But before the original owner was so nonsense, she didn't care about it, but indulged in every way, how to marry someone and the rules changed.

Seeing Jiang Shuyao frowning and looking at herself, Lin's appearance was stubborn and aggrieved, but her voice softened: "Didn't you tell your mother that you are happy and thank you, why did you change it in the blink of an eye?"

Jiang Shuya made a nonsense excuse: "I just saw him look handsome." She turned back to the original topic, "Mother, I don't understand, why can't I leave Xie Guogong's mansion, if I am afraid that his reputation will be damaged, I am almost stigmatized. ?"

Lin was silent for a while, watching Jiang Shuyao look a little bit more guilty, and whispered: "No matter how rich the Lin family is, they can't give you shelter, only Xie Guogong can."

Jiang Shuya was a little sluggish.

Lin hesitated, thinking that Jiang Shuya was not as stupid as he used to be, and said bluntly: "The Lin family has no children, and the daughter is sweet and pastry, jewelry, gold and silver, and you are beautiful again -" she said. , I still dare not say some words, "If I hadn't married your father long ago, I would have entered the palace with your aunt."

These words were beyond Jiang Shuyao's imagination. She recollected for a while and looked at Lin in amazement.

As the head of one of the best wealthy merchants, Lin had to fight the concubine rooms in the backyard of the Boss House in Xiangyang. Jiang Shuyao only felt that it was worthless at first. Shouldn't he be so rich and live happily?

Now it was only after Lin's help that he understood his dullness, his thinking mode remained in the modern after all.

Thinking of the grievances and sufferings Lin had suffered over the years, she still couldn't help asking: "Is my mother in love with my father back then?"

Lin thought she still wanted to argue that she had no intention of Xie Xun, and still wanted to reconcile, and said: "Stupid boy, and want the shelter of the noble family, and want the love between the two, how can it be so easy?"

These joints were still a little difficult to digest with Jiang Shuyao's modern thinking. She stared at the corners of her clothes dumbfoundedly, until her servant came to tell Xie Xun that she had reached the gate of the mansion, and she walked slowly out of the mansion.

Xie Xun rode in the carriage today without riding a horse.

He got off the horse at the station and waited for Jiang Shuyao at the gate of Xiangyang Bo's Mansion. Seeing her stepping out of the mansion gate unwillingly, he all pressed back to his throat if he thought about it in advance.

Jiang Shuyao did not say hello to him, and got into the carriage on his own, making Xie Xun feel uneasy, thinking about it, and then got in.

She put down the low table of the carriage and was lying on her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Since the two got married, Xie Xun has never seen her linger like this.

He sat down next to the carriage, not knowing how to place his hands and feet. Seeing Jiang Shu's gloomy look, he felt panicked in the carriage.

He took the teapot and asked, "Do you want tea?"

Jiang Shuyao shook his head slowly.

"Then some pastries?"

Jiang Shuyao shook his head again.

Xie Xun shut up, a little bit slumped by his own slurs.

Jiang Shuyao suddenly raised his head and frightened Xie Xun who was thinking hard.

She looked at Xie Xun dazedly, making him dodge back subconsciously, clinging to the cold wooden board.

She was lying on the low table just now, rubbing her sideburns when she shook her head, and lying half-paralyzed on the soft chair with her bones scattered, which is in line with Xie Xun's "unruly" eyes.

Seeing this scene, he completely forgot the so-called rules and etiquette, and his heart became more congested, just wanting to touch her head.

"Xie Boyuan." Jiang Shuyao said.

This was the first time she had called him to express, in the narrow carriage, she opened her mouth as if she was talking in his ear.

She was sad, speechless, sounding like she was wronged and acting like a baby.

Xie Xun's heart trembled, and he asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" Even the upper body couldn't help leaning towards her.

Jiang Shuyao looked at Xie Xun and asked distressedly: "Are you very smart?" After all, he is a famous talent.

If an ordinary person asks this, most of the other person feels extremely rude and thinks it is provocative and insulting, but Xie Xun didn't think about it at all, and said worriedly "Huh?", for fear that she felt that she was not smart enough.

His voice became softer, as if he was coaxing a child, and even his tone of voice became softer: "What's the matter?"

"I don't understand something." Jiang Shuyao sighed, extremely depressed.

Seeing her like this, Xie Xun's heart was soft and sour, and he answered the conversation very patiently, hoping that she could speak out the troubles.

"What's the matter?" The always cold voice became gentle.

"A lot of things." Jiang Shuyao said, "For example, what is marriage?" Lin's fierce temperament, but in the back home of ten years like a day, she lost her anger, even though the Lin family's wealth, she left the second Miss Lin family The identity is just a husband, Mrs. Xiangyang, who doesn't like the concubine's contempt.

Thinking of the Lin's figure she saw when she was out of the house, thin and lonely, as if it would disappear with the dimming of the sun.

She felt even more uncomfortable, as if she was punched hard.

Although Xie Xun was learning rich and five cars, but he couldn't answer her question, he was slightly taken aback.

Thinking of the relationship between the two, his tone was both puzzled and uneasy: "I...I don't quite understand. The two surnames are good, the upper is the Zongmiao, and the next generations?"

Jiang Shuyao looked away and stared at the wall of the carriage blankly: "It's really difficult. My mother said that my daughter would like her husband's shelter to marry."

I don't know why, Xie Xun's heart is nowhere to be melted.

For an instant, countless images of Jiang Shuyao after entering the house flashed in his mind, regretting and blaming himself, uneasy and worried.

He frowned, suddenly spoke, and solemnly said to Jiang Shuya: "I will take care of you."

"Huh?" Jiang Shuyao was still looking back at Lin's words, but didn't hear what he said.

Xie Xun met her eyes and looked down at her. His expression was unexpectedly gentle, and he repeated softly: "I will take care of you."

After finishing speaking, I finally did what I wanted to do since I got on the car-raised his arm and gently rubbed the top of Jiang Shuyao's head. ,,
