Ancient Foodie Survival Guide

After Xu and Zhou left, Jiang Shuyao asked to bring the remaining roast duck.

Xie Xun changed his official uniform and came back. He saw the roast duck on the table and his mood warmed up: "Is this reserved for me?"

Jiang Shuyao hesitated for a moment, and nodded with a guilty conscience: "Yeah." She originally planned to keep Xie Xun a whole one, but the few of them confiscated their appetite and only half of them were left to eat.

Xie Xun quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her affirmative reply.

Then he froze for a while, isn't it right, what's so nervous about this?

Throwing happy doubts, Xie Xun quickly resolved the roast duck, and even the lotus leaf cake was dipped in sauce.

According to his old habits, he would go to the study to read a book after dinner, and then go to bed in the east wing when it was time to rest.

But today he was uncharacteristically, instead of going to the study to read, he followed Jiang Shuyao to the kitchen.

Jiang Shuyao was busy preparing food for tomorrow, but ignored him.

He coughed slightly: "Are you with your sister-in-law and second-sister-in-law?"

"All right, what's the matter?" Jiang Shuyao kept holding her hands.

"Well, it's nothing, just ask." Xie Xun said vaguely.

Jiang Shuyao didn't care, and continued what he was doing.

Xie Xunan watched quietly, and then suddenly said: "Does Sister-in-law often bring children over?"

Jiang Shuya stopped what was on his hands, wiped his hands, and frowned at him: "No, why are you asking about this?" It was strange.

Xie Xie didn't understand why he asked this, and said uncomfortably: "It's okay, but I just think that you are bored in the yard all the time, and it's okay for you to walk around." It is both sincere and insincere.

"Of course." Jiang Shuyao packed up the ingredients to be used tomorrow, turned around and walked out of the small kitchen and said: "Especially the second sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law... you know, she has a life-saving grace for me, and her own I feel pity for the encounter, and I always want to accompany her more, to comfort her."

Xie Xun followed behind her, listening in silence.

This was the first time that she brought the Erfang matter to Xie Xun in a serious manner and said: "To be honest, Erfang is very sad. I think if Er's wife can forget her worries when she is with me, It’s great to enjoy food happily. Isn’t that the essence of food?”

It is always bad to talk about his brother in front of Xie Xun. Jiang Shuyao was a little embarrassed after he finished speaking and stopped talking.

Xie Xun watched her into the east wing, stood in the yard for a while, thinking in silence.

Even if Jiang Shuyao didn't confide in him, he could understand her concerns. Thinking of his second brother's mess with his concubine, he couldn't help sighing.

There was the second room before, so no matter how she hesitated to avoid it, he had to work hard to prove to her that he and the second brother were not of the same kind.

I don't know how difficult the road ahead is, whether I can do it.

Xie Xun walked on Yuehua while thinking, and unknowingly walked to Qushui Pavilion. When he looked up, he saw his two brothers again.

But today they are not playing chess, but are enjoying the moon and drinking.

When it was not over, the two were drunk, lying on the table as if they were dreaming.

He knows his two brothers. Tomorrow is not Xiumu, but the two of them drink and get drunk without restraint, fearing that they are sad and difficult to understand.

His gaze fell on Xie Lang, who was frowning and muttering vaguely, and then looked at the slumbering Xie Li next to him. It must have been the elder brother drinking with the second elder brother.

He was about to turn around and walk away when he suddenly heard a loud "bang--"

Xie Lang was full of wine and didn't lie down well. He crooked and planted from the stone table, and fell firmly to the ground.

The ground was cold and hard, Xie Lang gasped in pain, but still did not sober up, twisted on the ground a few times without turning it over, and simply lay on the ground.

Xie Xun paused.

His brother fell to the ground, how could he watch.

His footsteps showed a bit of rush, and he strode forward to Xie Lang. My brother was lying on the ground, his face full of pain. He didn't seem to fall lightly and was still in pain after so long.

Although it was summer, it was still cold on the ground. It was not good to lie down like this. He had to get up quickly.

So Xie Xun looked worried, anxiously... lifted his right foot and kicked Xie Lang's leg.

Hey, no response.

Xie Xun carried his hands on his back and switched to kicking his arm with the toe with his left foot.

Still no response, why is it so drunk.

He sighed quietly and wandered away with his hands behind his back.

Not far from Qushui Pavilion, he ran into a passing maid. He stopped the person: "Go to the big room and tell the old lady that the uncle fell asleep at Qushui Ting, so that she will send someone over to help the uncle back. Caught a cold."

The maid agreed and hurried to the big room.

As for the second elder brother, he didn’t know who to let the maid look for in a mess in the courtyard, so he simply waited for his sister-in-law to send someone to look for the eldest brother to pick him up, but on the left, he had to send someone to call for manpower and let him lie on the ground for a while. .

After Xie Xun's heart was relieved and returned, he felt much more comfortable.

In the evening when I went to the dormitory with Jiang Shuyao, my tone became more relaxed, and she wentssiping with her: "How is the mother-in-law's place recently?"

Jiang Shuyao is still very interested in this topic: "Mother said that she plans to open some restaurants in other terminals one after another, and then plan to open more restaurants. I think she meant to make the restaurants bigger."

"That's good, just opening a restaurant is a waste of your recipes and methods."

Jiang Shuyao sighed: "I don't know what these restaurants will be."

Xie Xun said: "If you are curious, let's see if we can go."

Jiang Shuya raised his head to look at him: "Really?"

"Naturally take it seriously." Xie Xun was amused by her appearance, "I will accompany you whatever you want."

Jiang Shuyao was slightly stunned.

The light in the room was dim, and Xie Xun couldn't see her expression clearly: "You can tell me what you think and think in the future. Since I promised to take good care of you, I won't break my promise."

To some extent, Jiang Shuyao has something in common with the Zhou family who had just married. Xie Xun thought about the appearance of Xie Lang and Zhou family now, and added: "Don't worry too much in front of me, act with restraint, I... I don't want to see you become the second sister-in-law."

He didn't hear Jiang Shuya's answer for a long time after he finished speaking, and when he thought she would not answer, she suddenly came over.

Jiang Shuyao watched his eyes earnestly and said softly, "Xie Boyuan, you have to do what you say."

Her warm breath sprayed on his face, causing him to numb half of his cheeks for a moment, and his mind went blank. It took him a long time to utter the word "OK".

As soon as the voice fell, a sound suddenly came from outside the door to break the hazy atmosphere between the two.

"Miss, it's okay, the fourth young master has eaten up his stomach, and the big room asks the doctor to alarm the old lady."

Jiang Shuyao was startled and suddenly sat up from the bed.

Xie Xun was also startled, and quickly got up and put on his robe, opened the door to let Bai Zhi in.

Bai Zhi said the whole story roughly.

Xie Yao was always weak, and vomiting twice at night was a serious matter. Jiang Shuyao and Xie Xie rushed to the big house worriedly.

When she arrived at the big room, the old lady was there, and was asking Xu with a calm face.

Seeing Jiang Shuyao was coming, she immediately aimed the fire at Jiang Shuyao, after all, Xie Yao had a bad stomach at her place.

The doctor came out just after he started.

The old lady shut up immediately and looked at the doctor anxiously.

"It's just that I have eaten accumulated food. I think the dinner is a bit greasy. The little boy feels uncomfortable in his stomach, so he just vomits it out.

This was a false alarm, and everyone was relieved.

But the old lady is here, and this matter can't be lightly revealed just because Xie Yao is not in serious trouble.

The old lady asked Xie Yao's dinner carefully, and she was dissatisfied: "The duck skin is fatty, and A Yao has a bad body. How can I eat more?"

Xu tried to defend: "Ayao is already much better, and he rarely has such a good appetite. I saw him eating happily--"

The old lady interrupted displeasedly: "Okay, let's find so many excuses to do something bad."

Xu had no choice but to bow his head and said, "My daughter-in-law knows it was wrong."

"He is your son, and you are the one who is sick and uncomfortable. It is useless for my old lady to say too much, but you--" The old lady cast her eyes on Jiang Shuyao, "I will punish you for this, do you think it? recognize?"

Jiang Shuyao hadn't spoken yet, Xie Xun was ready to speak out to defend her: "Mother..."

As soon as he said two words, he saw Xu clan winking him.

Originally, the old lady was only going to punish lightly, after all, Jiang Shuyao was indeed responsible. But if Xie Xun opened his mouth to help, the old lady might not simply punish him.

"I admit punishment." Jiang Shuyao said. She was worried about Xie Yao and felt guilty and uneasy. "I will admit whatever punishment was imposed." It was indeed her negligence.

Seeing that the worried and anxious look on her face didn't seem to be false, the old lady softened her tone: "This matter was caused by eating, so please seal up your small kitchen for ten days."

The snake hit seven inches, so Jiang Shuyao was indeed a punishment.

She nodded: "Okay."

"I will send someone over tomorrow morning." The old lady was too old and tired of tossing so all at once, she didn't want to say more, "Okay, you can go in and see Ayao."

After she finished speaking, Jiang Shuyao immediately got into the inner room, Xie Xun was about to follow, but was stopped by the old lady.

She had just watched Xie Xun and Jiang Shuya enter the door together. She felt strange. Now she looked at him with a gloomy expression on his face after hearing the punishment. He looked uncomfortable and distressed. It was even more unpleasant: "I punish her, are you not happy?"

Xie Xun looked at the old lady, who was speechless.

What effect can the closure of the small kitchen have on Jiang Shuyao? She has been eating in the second room recently, so she can cook and eat in the second room.

He is different, his lunch can be completely boiled, and even dinner has to be cooked in the same kitchen.

Rather than punishing the Jiang family, it is more torturing his son.

He said depressedly: "Mother, go back to sleep, I'm going in first to see Ah Yao."

The old lady was left in confusion.

＊

Before the old lady sent someone to seal the kitchen early in the morning, Jiang Shuyao made Xie Xun's last lunch and brought it with him.

Xie Xun carried the food box to the East Palace, looking unhappy.

The bruises and blood on his forehead dissipated, leaving behind a shallow trace, matching his very cold expression today, it is inevitable that everyone will guess.

When it was time for dinner, Xie Xun opened the food box to prepare for dinner.

Probably because this was the last lunch recently, Jiang Shuyao specially made a big bowl for him, one meal worth two meals.

Thinking of this, Xie Xun's face became more resentful, making his face even colder, and scared that no one was sitting on the table around him.

Lin Cheng moved in as always, and before he had time to guess what surprises would be eaten today, Xie Xun lifted the lid, and a strong sour and spicy aroma poured out.

There is a large porcelain bowl in the food box, and the white bowl is lined with a clear brown soup. The contrast of colors is very eye-catching.

The porcelain bowl is filled with fern root powder, sprinkled with chopped peanuts, green onion, chicken shreds, and black fern root powder make the finely chopped red pepper diced extra eye-catching. The soup is watery, look. It's cool when you wear it.

Jiang Shuyao processed all the chili peppers Lin sent him, and wanted to test the taste of chili. Today, he specially made hot and sour fern root powder, which contains both diced red pepper and some pickled peppers, which makes the fern The root powder has a unique sour scent of pickled peppers, refreshing and refreshing after smelling it.

Seeing the large portion, Xie Xun simply gave Lin half a bowl of ingredients.

After the separation, the two immediately ate their heads and ate.

The fern root powder is smooth and smooth. After being soaked in the cold soup, the smoothness becomes more obvious. The chopsticks slide straightly. Compared with rice noodles, it is more refreshing, non-sticky and non-sticky, with a bit of crispness in the tenderness.

The soup is refreshing and will not hang on the fern root powder, making the fern root powder have a unique taste of soup water. The smooth and tender fern root powder is a perfect combination of the hot and sour soup base that is constantly dripping away. Together, eating and eating can't help but take a big breath.

As soon as I tasted it, a strong hot and sour taste instantly filled my mouth, both the acidity of old vinegar and pickled peppers, combined with the pungent taste, from the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue, it was crisp and numb, and the sourness was so refreshing that it made the population. The water is gushing like a spring.

However, this hot and sour is not thick and heavy, but a cool and refreshing hot and sour, appetizing and relieving greasy.

It is tender and refreshing, delicious and sour, you can't stop after a bite, the sour and spicy taste is so overbearing.

After sucking and eating for a few mouthfuls, the spicy numbness on the tip of his tongue gradually climbed up, and Xie Xun picked up the tea at hand and poured it into his mouth.

The tea was hot, and the spicy sensation on the tip of his tongue was enlarged countless times at that moment. Xie Xun hurriedly put down the teacup, but the spicy sensation on the tip of his tongue lingered. It was so hot that his forehead was sweaty and his eyes were full of tears.

One person saw it first, one by one, and the whole room saw Xie Xun's force holding back the tears in his eyes.

The bluish purple on the forehead, the gloom at the time...combined, it is enough to make up a sorrowful story.

Thinking like this, they cast their eyes on Lin Cheng.

As a close friend, Lin Cheng must know what happened to Xie Xun.

Lin Chengcheng, who was being watched by everyone, raised his head at this time, and a line of tears suddenly slipped down from the corner of his eyes, and "Pata" dripped on the table.

Everyone:? !

The man does not flick when he has tears! In the end what happened!

They leaned over to you with a mouth and I with a mouth to persuade, Lin Cheng wiped away the tears that were so hot, and hissed: "What are you talking about?"

In the mentality that I can't be crying by myself, Xie Xun said, "This fern root powder is very delicious, would you like to try it?"

Everyone was confused and came over with small bowls.

...

When the prince came back from the central palace, he slipped in as he passed the dining room of the east palace, preparing to express condolences to the officials on their diet.

As soon as he entered the door, he was struck by lightning.

The people in the house were standing or standing, all with tears and red eyes, and some even wiped their tears while sniffing!

The darkness in front of him almost didn't frighten him.

What was the big mistake in the political affairs that made the officials of the East Palace cry together, crying silently like this? !
