Chang’an Small Restaurant

Chapter 48: spring eclipse spring vegetables

    Others went out to look at the lamps and brought back all kinds of lamps, while my grandson went out to look at the lamps and brought back a pack of glutinous rice balls.

    Facing her grandmother's joking gaze, Lin Yan pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and smiled: "I went out for a while, and I was hungry, so I went to Shenji to make up some food. The owner Shen is very You're welcome, let me bring some back to Grandma to try."

    Mrs. Jiang Tai lifted the lid of the box and looked a little curious: "Sweet?"

    Looking at her grandmother's childlike expression, Lin Yan laughed: "Sweet, sesame stuffing." Then he called the maid to cook some for her grandmother, "Just try it at night. I'm afraid not Good digestion."

     

    Mrs. Tai scooped out one with a spoon, blew it gently, bit it, and a thick black filling came out.

    After eating slowly, Mrs. Jiang Tai nodded, "Sweet, glutinous and fragrant, only a beautiful woman with ingenuity like Shen Xiaoniang can make it."

    Beauty... Lin Yan coughed lightly, smiled and nodded: "Yes."

     

    Lin Yan smiled and lowered his eyes.

    Mrs. Jiang Tai thought about it and said, "But you don't have a tongue, and you eat almost anything. If you marry a bride who is good at cutting and cooking, they will serve a bowl. Well-cooked shark fin soup, but you eat it like a vermicelli, if you ask you about the taste, you only say the word 'good'... It's too wronged."

    Lin Yan raised his eyes and looked at his grandmother with disgust and embarrassment. He couldn't help but pursed his lips, but smiled helplessly.

    Mrs. Jiang Tai also laughed, and so did the servants.

    The maid A Su has been with Mrs. Jiang Tai for many years, and she is very face in front of the master, and immediately smiled: "How can Mrs. Tai make fun of Langjun like this? Langjun is just not like a little boy. It's just a slick tongue."

    Mrs. Jiang Tai smiled and nodded: "He suffers just a little bit, like a gourd. Fortunately, he has a good face, and he can trick a little lady to come back with this."

    The servants smiled and persuaded Mrs.

    There were more drums from outside, Lin Yan stood up, "It's getting late, grandma should rest earlier."

    Mrs. Jiang Tai nodded, "You also go to bed earlier."

    Lin Yan saluted again and exited.

     

    “…If you can marry someone with a more lively personality, it would be better if the two complement each other’s temperament…”

    Lively temperament...Lin Yan stomped at his feet.

    "Alang walk slowly." The servant girl who was vigilant under the porch saluted.

    Lin Yan nodded, followed the porch and walked out of her grandmother's yard.

    When he came to the study, Lin Yan sat in front of the book desk, picked up a travel journal in the box, flipped through two pages, put it back, and pulled out a few more booklets below.

    Tongzhi's small script is the "Book of Songs": "How can you say that there is no clothing? The same robe with the son... Jingnv Qi Shu, when I am in the corner of the city..." Among them "clothes" and "robes"" Shu" and other words were well written and were circled.

    Take a look at the different written comments on the back: "The character of A Li is like lying down like sitting" "It is like lying down like sitting, straight and straight"... Lin Yan raised the corner of his mouth and put the calligraphy booklet Put it back in the box, think about it, put the booklet back in the middle, and shout to the attendants outside, "Send this book box to Shen Ji's little lady tomorrow."

    The attendant agreed.

    Shen Shaoguang received these books shortly after breakfast.

    Liu Chang saluted: "This is what A Lang asked someone to bring to the little lady."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and thanked him.

    Liu Chang crossed his hands again and exited.

    Yu San came out of the kitchen and took a look at the book box. Are today's young gentlemen giving things to the little lady in such an upright manner? But—Yu San looked at that ordinary wooden box, it was too insignificant, right?

    Shen Shaoguang lifted the lid, took out the top book and turned it over.

    It's an old book? Yu San knew that it must be some lonely book, and he deliberately packed it in such a simple wooden box, it looked different from those extravagant and pompous, this Lin Shaoyin... good plan!

    Seeing Shen Shaoguang's focused expression, Yu San pouted, little ladies, hehe... he went straight to the backyard.

    Shaoguang sighed with emotion. After all, he failed to realize his wish to resign from office and return to seclusion at the age of fifty. How impermanent life is.

    Shen Shaoguang picked up the book box, A Yuan wanted to help her, Shen Shaoguang shook his head: "You are busy with you."

    Yu San came in with a piece of bacon, pouted when he heard the words, once the little ladies were emotional, they became so hypocritical...

    Shen Shaoguang returned to the back house, and slowly flipped through the books in the box. The "father" in the book gradually overlapped with the memory in the book. The gentle and humorous husband and Aye, the literati who loved Shanquan Garden , elegant and graceful children of aristocratic families, ministers of the Ministry of Rites who have many suggestions for the imperial examination system, and - in Li Xianggong's words, the person who wept blood in front of the Emperor Dan.

    Shen Shaoguang also turned to the "self" booklet.

    In fact, I still inherited the painting and calligraphy skills of the original body, but the more I practiced, the lighter the shadow of the original body, and now it looks like it was written by two people.

    Shen Shaoguang also saw the comments in the booklet, especially the two sentences "like lying like sitting", and couldn't help but smile.

    If it weren't for an accident, with such a father and mother, and a lovely brother in memory, how would "Shen Shaoguang" live?

                     , The personal ability is very good, and the appearance may also be very good "talent and beautiful fairy"...

    Shen Shaoguang felt a little distressed for "myself", and this fate came to an abrupt end on the winter night when she was ten years old.

    These booklets took Shen Shaoguang several days to finish. Because it was too emotional, after drying, they were repackaged and sealed, and then continued to manage the life of "Shen Shaoguang".

    As we enter February, the weather is noticeably warmer. The Qujiang River was thawed, and the water waved one after another. The fish that had been stagnant for the winter came out to breathe, the willow trees on both sides of the river were budding, and the wind softened.

    It just so happened that there was another spring rain, and in a few days, the Qujiang River, Leyouyuan, random hillsides and trees outside the city, and even the gardens and barren houses in the city, Then there is a little bit of new green, and the wild grass has not turned green, and the wild vegetables come out first to join in the fun.

    The young gentleman and the pretty little ladies hurriedly changed into spring shirts and went on a spring outing in the wild. There are also many women and children carrying small bamboo baskets to the field to "pick wild vegetables", either eating them at home or selling them in the city to supplement their households.

    Shen Shaoguang was fortunate enough to buy a lot of such wild vegetables.

    Shen Shaoguang didn't recognize a few wild vegetables in her last life, and she still won't recognize it in this life, but A Yuan taught her, this is a green fern, this is a green vegetable, that is a green ox vegetable... The biggest pile Shen Shaoguang recognized it, Shepherd's Purse.

    "How do you eat these?" Shen Shaoguang asked A Yuan for advice.

    "Originally, the ladies of the Xu family were all blanched in boiling water, then mixed with a little salt and eaten."

    Shen Shaoguang: "…"

    Ask Yu San, he has only cooked one or two of them, so Shen Shaoguang had to explore slowly by himself.

      Dumpling; mince to make chicken and wild vegetable soup; take tender sprouts and scramble eggs, or stir-fry mixed vegetables with shredded pork belly, shredded tofu, and vermicelli, sandwiched in spring cakes…

    Sure enough, as Shen Shaoguang originally imagined, with the blending of wild vegetables, the spring dish has become a real spring dish, and as she imagined, this real spring dish is very popular. There are a lot of big houses that have been ordered and sent to their homes, such as that Li Xianggong, the servants of the Li family will come to order a copy after a while.

    Some people even wrote a poem, what "the white jade plate is tender with green silk, and the meat is fragrant in the jade kettle", there is no white jade plate, nor is the jade kettle, but the vegetables are tender and meaty , but it is true.

    Shen Shaoguang made the best use of the wall outside his store, prepared pen and ink, and asked the poet who wrote the poem to inscribe the poem on the wall. At this time, writing poems on the wall was an elegant and frequent thing. The scholar who was slightly drunk readily agreed, splashing ink, and it was completed in an instant. It turned out to be an extremely fluent and free cursive.

    Shen Shaoguang applauded, and decided to give this advertising creative director a free order today.

    With the praise of the beautiful lady, the scholar smiled proudly, and wanted to write another hundred and eighty poems.

    In addition to these ways of eating, even if the wild vegetables reach their descendants, the most classic is to make stuffing. Shen Ji's Yujian noodles have several kinds of wild vegetable fillings, and there are excellent thin-skinned wild vegetable wontons with large fillings.

    Shen Shaoguang's favorite is the stuffed shepherd's purse, followed by the green beef. Shepherd's purse has a good taste and taste, and it has a umami taste. It is best with pork belly dumplings and wontons. After it is cooked, it is dipped in balsamic vinegar and garlic paste with sesame oil. .

    The green beef dish has a spicy taste, and it is mixed with mutton to make meatball dumplings with less meat and more meat, and it is also very fragrant.

    When Lin Yan came, he ordered a side dish, and Shen Shaoguang recommended to him the two seasonal staples that he thought were the best, "This shepherd's purse has the fresh spirit of spring, and the green ox Vegetables can stimulate the aroma of mutton itself, which is very good."

    Lin Yan closed his eyes to Shen Shaoguang's eyes, which seemed to be full of bright spring, "It's the former."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "Okay, Lord Lang." Just as he was turning around, he suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Yan with a half-smile, "The former..." This is a bit embarrassed, There is also a statement that deliberately avoids the word "蠠", "Lin Langjun shouldn't have read Er's calligraphy booklet, right?"

    Lin Yan only felt that his face was a little hot, how could this kind of thing be talked about face to face? Taking a look at Lady Shen's generous smile, Lin Yan pursed her lips, "Little lady's words are Xiuya when she was young, but now she's thin, just don't be too unruly."

    "'Heaven and earth, the inverse journey of all things, time, and a hundred generations of passers-by'①, these short decades, uninhibited, what does it matter?" Shen Shaoguang turned his eyes and smiled, jade-colored Charming.

    Lin Yan held her breath, looking at her complacent look, she finally curled the corners of her mouth and smiled.

    The author has something to say:  ①Li Bai's "Spring Night Banquet Peach and Plum Garden Preface".
