Chang’an Small Restaurant

Chapter 36: winter solstice guests

    It snowed heavily for three days, and the whole emperor was white. On the fourth day, the sun finally rose from the east, like the only egg yolk in a large bowl of white flour.

    Shen Shaoguang looked at the metaphor of A Yuan, and then at the sun, "It does look like it."

    "Still unfamiliar." A Yuan covered her cold face, sniffed, and added. Cooked must not be so cold!

    In the small north wind in the early morning, Shen Shaoguang and Yu San, Achang and Ayuan were sweeping snow at the door. The snow is not cold and the snow is cold. Fortunately, I ate the hot mutton soup cake just now, otherwise I would have been frozen to death.

    Shen Shaoguang also sucked his nose, and as soon as he spoke, a cloud of white mist spewed out, "Yes, it must be raw."

    A Chang was baring his teeth beside him.

    Yu three tubes rustled with a broom.

    Shen Shaoguang sighed again: "I really live up to a day like the Winter Solstice."

    It is already the winter solstice with the longest night and the shortest day of the year. In this dynasty, the winter solstice is a big solar term, second only to the new year, and officials in the court have to take a seven-day holiday, even the officials, slaves and servants have three days off.

    On the day of the winter solstice, the palace will hold a grand meeting and a banquet for hundreds of officials. It's been a busy and tiring day.

      Ninety-nine eliminate cold map to pass the time.

    The maids were happier, wearing the new festive clothes given by the previous couple of days, and drinking soup cakes with more meat than usual - it was just a little cold, and they had to be heated on a small stove before entering Delicious, otherwise there will be a layer of white greasy suet.

    In the past few months, the morning food has been cooked on three occasions, but this morning, Shen Shaoguang moved the hand to make the mutton soup cake in the palace.

      In a bowl; pour the rolling mutton with soup and meat on it, and it's done. It's a good bowl of noodles to eat hot in such cold weather.

    This kind of mutton soup cake, compared with the mutton minced mutton cake made in the previous two days, seems to be longer, but lacks some "fried strength", if there is anything special Yes, that's because the little lady's hands are really skillful. The houto pieces she pulled out looked like leek leaves, some in the shape of petals with very fine small pleats, some in the shape of goldfish, and some in the shape of butterflies. Four bowls of soup cakes, each The bowls are different.

    A Yuan looked at Shen Shaoguang and knew that the little lady was holding herself, so she picked the flower first, Shen Shaoguang picked the goldfish, Yu San took the leek leaf, Achang smiled The one with the bowl of butterflies.

    Fearing that they would not be full, Shen Shaoguang also used the original pan to spread out a few egg pancakes, but they didn't wrap them.

    This will come out for a freeze, another activity, and the food will be completely digested.

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said to A Yuan and Yu San, "Let's cook Dayan Yue wontons for lunch."

    The Dayanyue wontons that Shen Shaoguang said were dumplings. At this time, dumplings have not yet got their name. They are a branch of wontons, and most of them are eaten with soup and water.

    In the past life, all festivals were food festivals, but for northerners, half of the food festivals were dumpling festivals, especially in winter. During the Chinese New Year, I ate dumplings for several days in a row. Although I ate all kinds of fillings, I still had enough of my appetite.

    At that time, I thought, when I have a small family, I will eat rice, hot pot, pizza, barbecue, even instant noodles, and no dumplings.

    Who would have thought that when I came to this different time and space, I really became a big head and a dumpling pie.

    A Yuan was not as rebellious as Shen Shaoguang in her previous life.

    Shen Shaoguang made a decision: "Then it's still stuffed with shrimp and pork."

    The speed of A Yuan's hand sweeping snow has sped up a bit.

    On a big day like today, everyone eats reunion dinner and drinks reunion wine. Few come to the restaurant, so the ingredients for the guests are only a little prepared, and Shen Shaoguang can take it with peace of mind Celebrating the festival with the three of them.

    Shen Shaoguang washed a few copper coins and put them aside, and another piece of white tofu.

    A Yuan looked at her indifferently, even Yu San didn't know what the little lady was going to do.

    Like all parents teach their children, Shen Shaoguang wrapped the money in the dumplings and said to A Yuan: "Whoever eats the money will have great fortune next year. ."

    Yu San let out a snort, while A Yuan and A Chang really laughed.

    A Yuan smiled and said, "It's good, it's good, I eat a lot, I can definitely eat this with money."

    Shen Shaoguang nodded, learning probability well.

    "When I eat it, I will give it to the little lady. If the little lady has great fortune, I will also have fortune."

    Let the child speak warmly, Shen Shaoguang laughed.

    Achang also smiled and said, "If I eat it, I will give it to the little lady."

    Shen Shaoguang looked at Yu San with a smile.

    Yu San squeezed the folds of the dumplings, and said expressionlessly: "They all took a bite, don't you think the little lady is pickled?"

    Shen Shaoguang smiled: "I don't mind, they eat big wontons, I just want the money."

    Yu San: "…"

    After the run was finished on the third, Shen Shaoguang was refreshed, and then gave A Yuan and the others popular science: "Just pack a few pure tofu, whoever eats it will be lucky." In order to prevent A Yuan Speaking to myself, I quickly added, "I have enough good fortune, you eat more to make up for your good fortune."

    A Yuan and A Chang both nodded.

    Yu San has nothing to say, he just hopes to finish the package quickly and stay away from these three goods.

    There were not many diners at noon, but only a few scholars who looked like scholars. It is estimated that they are scholars of the modern class. Of course, they may have fallen behind and stayed in Beijing to look for opportunities.

    I lighted a hot pot for them, scalded wine, and Shen Shaoguang went back to the kitchen to eat their own "Big Moon Wontons".

    At this time, dumplings did not carry too much "nostalgia", but as a traveler, Shen Shao brought a few bowls of dumplings to those who were in custody with the human touch of a thousand years later. Sent by foreign scholars.

    "This is a festive meal presented by the small shop. The sundial has passed, and the sun has grown to the south, and several gentlemen are blessed. ①" Shen Shaoguang said auspicious words with a smile.

    Several scholars smiled and thanked them. One of them looked particularly handsome and elegant and looked at Shen Shaoguang intently, Shen Shaoguang raised his eyebrows, nodded to them again with a smile, and went back to the kitchen.

    Another scholar looked at the handsome man and laughed in a low voice: "Huan Qi is handsome, this little lady is beautiful, and she matches her well, but she is only a member of the Qilang family, but she is not a good match in the world."

    Huan Qi glanced at his friend and said, "Don't talk nonsense. This is the little lady Liu Sanlang likes, and he sent the official media to offer her as a wife."

    Everyone was quite surprised, and turned to look at the kitchen, but unfortunately the beauty was blocked by the door.

    "I can't wait to stay in this workshop, this is the first time I heard about it. That Liu Lu is also a scholar who has passed the scientific examination and is an official of Jingzhao, why do you want to find it? A businesswoman like this?"

    The other sneered: "The color makes the mind faint. I didn't expect that looking at such a shy and serious Liu Lu, I would be dizzy."

    Then another asked: "Then marriage can be done?"

     

    The other three shook their heads and sighed: "It's a little lady who knows how to advance and retreat and understand etiquette."

     "Look at her words and actions, she is very elegant, she looks like a noble girl, and she has studied in the market. It is really rare to see this Jiayuan in the market. Liu San wants to come and also like this. ."

    "Or maybe you fancy this cooking? Not only is it beautiful, but also delicious." Another one ate dumplings and smiled, "I have never eaten such a delicious big wonton."

    The one who said that Liu Feng's color is dizzy, but shook his head and retorted: "It doesn't match." After thinking about it, "If you accept it as a concubine, it is suitable." Looking at Huan Qi: "You See, Shiro?"

    Huan Qi took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "'Everyone has their own pros and cons.

    "I didn't expect Qilang to be so romantic, but he behaved according to etiquette..."

    …

    Several people drank with other people's "love affair", happily ate hot pot and dumplings.

      They shook their heads. I didn't know it three days ago, how can I know it now?

    The girl lowered her head and sighed softly.

    Shen Shaoguang couldn't see the beauty and was sad, and gave an idea: "How about the little lady handwritten a few notices and posted them in this workshop? It's better than this."

    The girl's eyes lit up, "What the little lady said is very true." She asked Shen Shaoguangfang if there was a pen and ink shop.

    "There used to be a pen and ink shop in the east of Qianfang, which sold very loose ink. It's just that the proprietor's house didn't know what to do, so it didn't open the door since the beginning of the winter. The big ink shop has to go to the East Market. Look." Shen Shaoguang said with a smile, "I have a pen and ink here, if the little lady doesn't dislike it, she can use it."

    Shen Shaoguang did not use a good pen and ink, he just made do with it every day. This girl looks like a rich girl, but I am afraid she is willing to take power at this time.

    The girl really smiled and thanked, "Then thank the little lady."

    Shen Shaoguang personally went to the cabinet to get the pen and ink, and asked A Yuan to go to the back house to get the paper for his daily writing.

      , is to point out his residence.

    Shen Shaoguang was quite astonished, it could be seen that the rate of talented women in this dynasty was high, so I just met one of them. Not to mention whether the poems are good or not, the speed of conception alone is enough to be commendable, and the small script of this hairpin is also very beautiful.

      After all, this requires the surname Huan himself or his acquaintances to see it, and to be able to see that this is a hidden poem, and to guess the answer to the mystery - it's a bit difficult.

    If Shen Shaoguang wrote it himself, 80% of it was written as a wanted notice in the court.

    But then again, if you really can find it in this workshop, it is still more dramatic and romantic. Shen Shaoguang accepted the laity of burning the qin and cooking the crane, and thought it was very good.

    The little lady copied three or four more.

    Shen Shaoguang did it to the end, made a paste on the stove, and borrowed Achang to help them paste it.

    The little lady smiled and asked, "I see people coming and going in your wine shop very lively, can you post a picture outside here."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled: "Yes."

      Several notices of "Night Crying Lang" and "Looking for Dogs" tend to become community bulletin boards.

    The author has something to say:  ①Japanese monk Yuanren's "Journey to the Tang Dynasty to Seek Dharma Tour". information found online.
